Romancing the Stone Age

I squirm at first

Can’t listen if I can’t believe

These claims made of Adam and Eve

From Oldman there sitting—departure gate

Red dirt etched biotic under fingernails tapping keys

Dust like powdered blood from his Eden in the far far north

Voice file rasping dried like crimson ironwood tree sap and smoke

Coaxed from those same leaves to warm this place exorcising bad spirits

Knowledge billowing thicker and greater with each new stage of story spiralling

Suddenly smothered

With my Paleo-Luddite doubt

About Moses coded into Uluru and

Departure gate signage with hidden meanings and Dreamings

In lettered settler protocol messaging patterning

Ancestral missives in the food court?

Everything Dreaming he asserts annoyed

Everything even dumplings and luggage and bustle

Still pattern still sign still a something

Whirlwind and willy wagtail and www dot all one

Our old people whispering through the aircon

Venting plenty big story if you can listen

Ceremony.com

Flash mobs dancing not hearing the

Tree behind the coal behind the steam behind the charger

The bauxite in the beer can

The sand in the bottle

Rare earth metal circuitry conducting spirit real time

From deep time this synthetic way a glitch

Walls of fire and a world burnt to

Reboot a shadow of the connectivity that was

While pirates board the mother

Cane toad dreaming uploads a toxin sponge

Radiation halving this half life

Red eye and amphibious claw mutations

Bringing back to land and waters every particle

Like all the families of the world coming back to that rock

First place first people blockchaining ways

Of return and ok Jesus call him if you like

Jumping up with one foot off those songlines

Powerlines

And a baby boy adrift on a river

Let my people come

Seven spirit families seven sisters stars

Named the same way across this planet every tribe

Always pursued and the little one left behind

But her return flight is booked for that special day

And it’s here today because all those tribes are gathered from exile

At gate 13 all those global bloods one time and place again

For the next big bang boom echidna smashing turtle hexagonal fractal

True god next iteration creation event

And I doubt it and he shames me shows me

Shouts the last word of the story

POWER!

And all the lights go out white noise stops and screens go blank

Terminal shut down with one word

And twin tornadoes dance over the horizon

See?

Those two serpents

First man first woman story

That baby boy return running on one foot next Thursday

Thor’s day making storm and lightning see?

Mungo Bethlehem Reykjavik same way smart city

Exodus and return like breathe out breathe in

That inhale is just about to

FINISH!

And the lights flicker back on and the crowds sigh relief

Checking screens for numbers

Patterns

See?
