Description
A bit of inspiration (having nothing to do with the 100 words project ) that hit me around 1 am last night. I threw together most of the photomanipulation and the poem itself before I went to bed last night, finished it up this morning. Will probably be scrapped, eventually.

The poem reads:

Howls don’t fossilize.
Pawprints do.
They tell us the ways,
The twists, the turns,
The speed, the age.
But not where they were going.

Pain doesn’t fossilize.
Bones do.
Every cracked rib a story,
Every broken tooth a lost legend,
With nothing left behind.

Love doesn’t fossilize.
Little bones do.
Little creatures scarcely beginning,
Lives already ended,
But by what?

Life doesn’t fossilize.
Only death does.
Every bone a memory,
Every death once a life.
In the ancient world, long gone.

Behavior doesn’t fossilize.
But I wish it did.
