Tale, Old, Time

The ashen rock layer,Chipped away,Consistent with the global boundary,A fine lineDefining this long-stilled era; Extant organisms piled on top of each other… Cross-correlation of worldwide sites,A global event, dramatic cause,Perhaps it wasn't an impact,Heavy with plutonium,No iridium…this time; Rock hammer relinquished, claw retracted,The persistent geologist followed the invisible pheromone trail,Pondering what could have brought an … Continue reading Tale, Old, Time →
