a descent into poetry insanity

Restrictions: None
South Africa: San Rock Art
I wonder—
what did they think?
I see the marks of ancient hands,
writing dreams and hopes
on cave walls.
my dreams are far away
from Drakensberg,
and when I mark my dreams
with modern hands,
my canvas is less permanent,
but still, we both tell stories.
I wonder—
did they think of a future day
when their memory would be
turned into a poem?
