Chinese Long Wall: Assumes Symbolic Identities Poem by Terence George Craddock

Chinese Long Wall: Assumes Symbolic Identities

what is a wall when wall
takes on life symbolic its own
snakes across mountains

Jurassic landscape ranges

an earth dragon
road through time
remnant sections

in pounded earth mud

turning back into dust
in time ruination scale
nature modern ancient

intermixing resurges

time growth recycles
nature plant peach trees
bees hum honey journey
