Then the ice melts
and the water is re-established
and you everywhere
you see Destructive Cataclysms
Mayan
Phoenician
Jew
Egyptian
Hellene
Share your myths
your potters
put to work
to maniacally create
exquisitely painted vessels:
the first books
the first films
the first documentaries
the first pornography
Hyperbaton
A man of stone
chthonian apparition
exaggerated reality
accentuated masculinity
from dust to stone to dust
on guard for
the well-being of my kin
a granite manly man
clearly seen in the snowstorm
he has guided
he has led man and
beast to safety and
his name: Inukschuk
guide of everyone lost
in the snowstorm of life
