This and all the poem a day entries are back dated. I wrote and posted them all to the Poem A Day Writer's Digest blog during april. It took me a while to post them here..)
Origin
Out of the muck we come
over-adrenalized and peevish
Muscled, toothed, furious to survive
Out of night, into the cave,
firelight dancing, igniting imaginings
of more-than-muck, and we
Out of our minds, with fire-born charcoal,
into the cavern carve a vast sprawling hunt
that we have made: gazelle, mammoth, man
men, together, ready for more than muck.
--- Mistryel Walker
