Notes About The Poem

Primitive

Deep rooted symbol in the Inuit culture, the inukshuk is rudimentary, primitive but effective communication. Through centuries, it is still a practical directional marker used as vital hunting and navigation aids, coordination points, indicators, and message centers. 

                                                                    remote voice 
                                                                    shattering the silence
                                                                    of hesitation

measured and counted, every word weighted...heavy. Excellently, professionally, chiseled from the rocks themselves. Ann
