Short Ibex Poems

The Dune on the Rock
    where fine grains of time     
gradually slip
revealing footprints
of lost vertebrates:

an archaic 
human being -
Neanderthal;
red deer, aurochs

elephants
and ibex…
crumbling sand

unveils
extinct 

past

Unhindered by birds or stars, hawks fly over the sky. 
In his fanciful glades, pursuing a fog growing heavier.
A cloud, he realizes, will fall in an unfathomable spot. 
Thunder rumbles afar away, and my heart skips a beat.
The mists are moving toward the stirring leaves. 
The mountains are also home to young and ibex. 
Nothing isolates us from the everlasting cloud. 
Where the water fills parched rural areas and hearts.
