The Memory of Skulls On a Hill

The air-ward climb –
On the weaver’s hill:

Ozone-layered: across 
The delight of new eggs;

Soft – in my intent, brief!
Transitory; leaping
From side to brighter side;

The non-conceived patterns
Growing in frequencies
By our sea-storms and dead deluge:

Are they brief?
Are they intent?
These cata-combs of broken skulls!
Are they the import of our essence?
