Equis
where rains fall off and forest fades seas swell of grass flesh afloat in hide balloons on hooves
into this dance of dire wolf and mammoth come ratites
with opposing thumbs and the eye
to wed their flesh to
swift hornless
grazers
with
reins
Homo
when that tribe of climbers fell from forest fronds among grass masticators and big cats
they dreamed dominance, mother, child, shaman, and green man
who biped from tribe on strange paths
monsters and flint edge
voice smearing
wisdom
on
him
