sharp edged tooth,
the rim of archeology
is the tiger's last place
a fossilized imbalance,
we become aware-
he lived
a pleistocene existence
among the wedge,
ridge of cultures
how we dig for clues
it is likely
man musters strength
to extinction
denudes that
which sustains
i befell your language
a small carved letter
made of smooth rocks
disappeared
to the crevice
which is life
or love?
before fingers defined,
at first
a pen

This appealing write comes onto my reader's
heart as almost sacred. I just became entwined
with how gently the lines lead one down the page,
encourage a journey to reach and revel in the beginning.
Just an amazing read that I will visit often. Blue
