A child traces animal ghosts on a cave
wall Left
pictures we had before
our memories and youth
were in them
.family
We dig down Trees in primordial
dirt Left
hidden as roots-- a Dad our Moms
found still loving us diverging
green offshoots
The furrowed brow on an infant's
face Left
impressions within a big sister's
emerging intelligence the natural
heir
to an ancient
matriarchy Left
here full of media streams
saturated with siblings
nieces and cousins
.network
Will social constructs
connections Left
on neural networks firing
locally across our communal souls
be remembered?
