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.
