Scrambling up a mountainside
slippery pebbles slide under foot.
Fingers grasp, clutching emptiness
in the crestfallen starscape
where prayers wander aimlessly.
Who dares suckle the night?
An owl prowls
the moonless land,
a rodent in its talons.
Slithery scavengers
witness eons crumble into dust,
strewn across time’s sandy highway.
A cavern’s frigid bowels
fossilize ancient tales
etched on evolutionary walls.
Even created ignorance leaves
a trail: demented dementia.
Who dares nourish the suckling mother?
