Lindow Man

Bone Awl

Compositor: Não Disponível

slumped into shoulders
a dark leather face
from the long slumber
in a grave of peat

beard stained red
sinews around neck
of ritual killing
iron age execution

dark green casket
eternalized from acid
the black offering
to worship the sun

old lindow man
an inevitable victim
of barbarous rite
to worship nature
