Image for the poem Becoming Ancient

Becoming Ancient

Face-paint in hues
of modernity, modernly
slid down skin
in
imprinted fingertips:
Barbaric.

Piercing the veil
of chambers
of the
hyperbaric.

*   *   *

Ceremonial travel
unraveled
into
the night/into the sight

of the night
embodied in moving bodies

*   *   *

Where I become
a mobile
observatory
made
in materials
of that of which the ancients were made
