Notes About The Poem

A "found" poem: a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them by making changes in spacing and lines, or by adding or deleting text, thus imparting new meaning. 
An archaeologist’s (Philop Riris) drawing of ... [a] giant snake engraving. Carved into a rockface ... over a thousand years ago.

Rock Art Carvings

giants and monsters 
     walking the Earth
            in rock art

                 dogs 
                  jaguars
                  turtle
                  frogs

and probably a butterfly

              snakes
              feared
              worshiped
              revered
            
carved geometry 
             an oracle
                   a long lost ancient culture

the fabled gold of El Dorado
                legendary 

discovering treasure
a thousand rock art carvings

artistic heritage
from antiquity
