Paleolithic Bulls and Other Animals Crowd Calcite Walls at Lascaux, France
Poetry is so hard
without metaphor or simile.
Nature escapes me
Rhya’s earth, an illusion.
I rub my eyes and sigh
"You know no words".
What drives this need
to sit in quietness and pain?
What need at Lascaux
to picture deer and bull?
Just a bursting!
Ah! the humanness of it!
The rapture, when words were few.
