Sign, Song, Speech

the first sign
like a structured home
comfort among wolves and tents
lambasting rock signals where waves
and oceans betray each other, often

the first song
a natural development
communication that grew naturally
seemingly out of the depths of the world
music that summoned spirits of the dead

then speech,
casually, gradually, naturally,
with little or no effort emitting from songs
the disaster did not seem to meet realization
what appeared as the bright star of enlightenment,
anti-Venus was the strictest, most pronounced succumbed initiation
of the decline of humanity’s lonely, surrounded waking hour
