Long-furred Bison paw, snort. <br />Lunge towards hunters <br />Leaning forward to toss <br />Lethal spears. Food. <br /> <br />The Sorcerer, chanting, <br />Taps blood on eyes <br />Torchlit into circles, <br />Terrified wide. <br /> <br />Fire pits shriek flames upward, <br />Finger painting <br />Finely sooted ceilings. <br />Friezes in fear. <br /> <br />Limestone walls trickle drops, <br />Leaching all Time <br />Languidly through paintings <br />Long left behind. <br /> <br />One handprint on the wall. <br />One fingerprint. <br />Ostracizing Masters. <br />Only questions.... <br /> <br />Painter, what words for your <br />Poetry heart?<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/anonymous-painter/
