“Description of Fossils”—The Age of Fossils

2009-01-01

Standing in the wind in early autumn

I looked in silence

At time in the depth of the red earth

Buried

Billions of years later

Waking up slowly

At this end of the time

Listening to the sound from the ancient past

And the shouting that was disappearing

My memory

Is turned into fossil

In the passage of time

Growing tough

Like

The solid time

As I walked alone

In the wilderness that buried mark of life

At each entrance

To the dark caves where animals lived

Shouting loudly

I heard

The fury of lives in the ancient times

Coming at me

At the opening to the cave

Just like time tunnel

The bellow of the disappearing time

My chest

Covered by time of fossils

Just like the arrows from the bows

Exciting though entangled

Fossils are the sediment left on the Earth by age

And age is the glorious texture of the fossils
