great
strength
acts
everywhere
following
only
the way
what
is the way?
it's ghostly,
out of reach,
impalpable,
near
invisibility,
yet
within it
hover
images--
shadowy,
elusive,
and dim
and
within these images
float
objects--
within them,
energies
these
energies
are quite
real
and reveal
themselves
from prehistory
to now
as a clue

one name
has been kept,
the ancestor
of us all
how
do I know
what
the ancestor
of us all
was
like?
this
way.
