FOSSILIZED ORIGINS

FOSSILIZED ORIGINS

A flute softly trills in flirty speak
a lawn boy burns on its side
stick beating rooster feathers fly
a father is no more
from these they gestate.

In silence contained
in silence apropos
Vangogh’s crows to and fro
silent and chained
off this breast they deliberate.

Under floorboards
hear them rustling?
midnight hustling
voices scurrying into ink
aftertastes of their passing.

Thoughts,
ribbed strokes once swimming
now skeletal
existing as pressed fossils
upon paper.
