When we walked on the
shards on an icy
dawn and became a species who'd heard
the howl of The Sirens enchanting songs
in "The Well" of
a Paleolithic cave Orpheus
stood slant-wise, a bird for his
head, a bird
on a pole,
wounded bison moaning nearby.
He, dancer
in the abyss, spirit, ever to be born,
Magic bird and unhallowed fruit cruelly saved.
Anthropos,
calculating
the disaster
of a micro-managed
destiny:
Hello.
Can
you hear me? See me?
Be
me?
