Entry Point

Topics: classic

Ants colonized it      -    huge abodes littered with the dead     (leaves, sticks, the occasional granulated insect     piled high, totemic-fashion)     reaping a fortune in scenery,     though probably not food Ojibways were next    -     their tell-tale encampment by     pocket-sized waterfall,     inlets off a winding cataract     & moss, loam-thick with black soil     a future arboreal dream     inching over rock, darling crevice     for northern orchid, then kiss     of red death the hybrid trillium     & more sinister cousin,     jack-in-the-pulpit     for Indian foragers.     Animistic limestone shone hands,     poked thru the forest with stealth,     petroglyphic lava beds      -    a cougar pouncing    -     runic carvings the cold in the     Giant's stone nostrils billowing     off the lake like a presence.
