the call to action :
like prehistory’s most compelling protagonists howling out from the austere tar pits in which they are mercifully entombed

in ash and motion .
in the name of each family’s future

/ at least leave me the sky - /
/no./ the reanimated ancestral cloud billows,
/all is a dome, beyond which, none may gaze/
/ be still and pose gracefully within the god-dome of our love./
