A Brief History of Early Art
An accidental image
chipped
the twig and stone
chance implements
primeval pigments
berries, blood
rock as canvas,
chalk as voice
the impetus
to signify
embryonic sense
reflecting
feelings,
bones of memories
eternalizing mastodon
sanctifying symmetries
from cavern symbols
archetypes
styles spiraled
movements
fusions
expressions irrepressible
interpreting
the ageless flame.
