i keep reading
i read about language
i read about
writing experimentation
in canaan in 2000 BC
i am told M
represents water
drawn from the depths
a S
is a snake or serpent
who endlessly devours
its own tail
how Romans
were slow to
adapt Latin inscriptions
how it could be
corrupted Phoenician
or some other untraceable
Indo-European script
*
my mind travels
through different
alphabets
Coptic
Runes
Greek
Cyrillic
Ethiopian
each with a history
all with a struggle
all attempting
to capture
a loving thought
or a judgement of death
sheep owed
lost n found
lies jokes and
exquisite stories
scratches of lines
lives lost and saved
