stone shaving, molecule by molecule
a river relentlessly, sweeps away
the rocks of time
a gorge is a knife sawn deep
into earth’s history book
sides of pages exposed
just a few words to understand
sometimes only letters
that we read backwards
a story of beginnings
the idea for the plot
and who thought of it
ask a feather to dig down
to the bones of the
very first bird
and even if it succeeds
it still won’t know
how flight was imagined
