Blue kangaroos, azure primates,
cobalt cats and dogs, bright navy
vertebrates for heaven's sake,
perception is a fine and fickle sense!
it's usually true to form, but when it fluctuates
you may wonder whether you are still awake!

...an exercise from a Poetry Primer
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

Title: Gibraltar Crumbling
19th December 2019
The mind reposed
in the muck
of the ocean floor,
waiting to be born.
The riddle of life
came out of the mud.
The ghosts
inhabit us all.
The origins,
the bloom of verdant fields,
the vertebrates:
They crawled;
they stood;
seeing in a clear pool
an image
they knew.
They drank the salt water,
lifted the cup,
knew joy in the sunrise,
found life was sweet
and death was
the turbulence
of the water.
These creatures begin life as tadpoles in a lake.
What a radical change in morphology they take!
They lose their tails, and grow rather long legs.
Age makes a big difference from fertilized eggs.
They usually come out with the vanishing of the sunlight.
Do you hear their croaking sounds at night?
These amphibian vertebrates are known as an “anuran”.
Frogs have existed on the earth longer than man.
