​

we are created from stories

stories form layers that make us

our own palaeontology

times of growth and of loss

 

 events that mark us

that leave us changed

so too

the cities around us

and the world we inhabit

​

stories hide

in the geological layers 

in the footpaths

as secrets in our brains

 

these catastrophic events that interest Zea

from the personal to the grand scale

of terror 

holocaust

genocide

 

when we look back through a layer

or hold a fossil in our hands

we feel a time before

loss

an innocence
