Like So Much Cave Art

"Like So Much Cave Art"

 

"It wants to write its own poem,

to be the creator,

and the created,

my heart.

 

It wants to pluck a quill from the pheasant,

or the swan,

or the eagle,

to dip the tip gently,

softly into our blood,

and to gracefully inscribe its own tales

deep within it's many chambers,

right there on the walls

like so much cave art.

The beautiful drawings it would paint

there inside

amidst the unceasing whooshing,

undeterred by a throbbing pulse.

The heart inscribes its own poems

right there on its walls

inside the chambers

and waits

with

silence,

pulsing,

for the archaeologists to come."
