The Hominid Dreamer

The dreamer
Lies buried in the hemisphere
Like hominids nested in calcium
Upon outstretched shovel
Vermillion corridors pounce in theatrical unfolding
Its all shadows and graves say
Those cliffside with buckets of fear

While I clawed suddenly the dichotomy came clear
Now I'm hijacking lotuses from the other side
