Tonight
as I huddle
around this homo-
sapien fire
of fresh-laupered
beech limbs to
ponder the
170,000 year-old
neanderthal
cave architects
of Aveyron,
the Tacoma
in idle above
on the ridge
my vain
attempt
to recharge
a dead cell,
AM Sinatra
from Corbin
belting over
this holler of
deer, whippoorwill,
wood frog and
barred owl,
the denisovan
in me
thinks
maybe we got
things
all wrong.
