hieroglyphics cave paintings
calligraphy scrolls fulfilling
archaeological satisfactions
the tribes keep moving
light from darkness
darkness from light
their questions find answers
their answers find questions
woodlands and waters
soils eroded reclaimed
something constructed
something destructed
children learn legends
recite and sing
carry on their tribe’s
life and dream
upon a star
