Fossil skull zero (2017)

  

motion, stone laid asunder

bone still rings, sand; silt ponders

   deep in the ebb, the web of the flow

   coal dark coolness, fossil skulls know


there twixt the crags, buried in waves

damned to a pond, stillness barged, brave

   surrounded in sturgeon, burgeoning schools,

   man's sad skull sings, echoes zero's pools


bobbing ever slightly, losing bits to spare,

piecing back borrowed meal, river must repair,

   iron carbon blood and dream

   silver magnesium phosphorous bean


   mindlessly moving, subtractive and fixed

   our river skull motion can take the licks 





2017
