PALEO PAIR

PALEO PAIR

Hands rapturously
slashing satori
Bang !
Light released filter down
bats brushed skin to
fly knowingly low
then water gushed
through cracks
snakes spiders scorpions 
were our toes
stones spoke in bugle
sound as Sun set in
whirlwinds

the cave was nowhere 
yet everywhere 
Beethoven’s symphonies 
were shadows
future written on our
vacant palms
but to prior walk with 
Harry the Strandloper 
was an unspoken 
intent by ONE for
beloved paleo duo
Khoisan shores we
were profoundly to
absorb adorned with 
seashell bracelets before 
on velvet concert seats 
to sit enraptured 

no thoughts tornado
continents waiting
our ignited hearts
unnamed species 
answered spotted spaces
with wise wind through 
shafts in darkness protected
our irises reflecting stalactite
dolomite dynamite
anchovy offering themselves
our hunger appeased

we were the power
cycles the compass 
receiver and giver abundant
advantage celebration 
betrayal protection
or Divine intervention 
were unknown variables
not yet defined ~

a oneness merging
with heather whispering 
as red dust make 
cave patterns pore
voices faraway clamped
our knees
we had no idea it was 
shackles of Bastille 
through time tunnels
terrible 
vacant minds a pair
just Sky Earth us
cave wolves bears
Fire !

then womb lustily grew
and grew
berries and tubers fat
nipples started leaking
crows cackled
she was born in running 
River pinking water 
cord to trout we fed
who offered us their 
white flesh in turn
Sun roared into navel 
in and out, up and down
cave walls slapping 
Spring to bring

Heart expanded lungs
metallic sounds sung
a hammer forged to
chop stone singular 
swallows still equalled 
human tribes not 
flocks harmonious fly
my eyes pushed out 
his to flush awake
nostrils flared flaked

slowly Darkness 
dragons dissolved
paleo pair evolved
