Neolithic To Greco Roman Time Lost Ritual Overtones Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Neolithic To Greco Roman Time Lost Ritual Overtones



Neolithic rituals primal urges Greco Roman votive offerings
Neolithic polished axe hoards beg question votive victories
or authority to net rule in peace to execute like Roman fasces?
power jurisdiction wielded society as strength through unities
votive offerings prayers beg need fulfill embedded perplexities?
Bronze Age axe hoards morph into what high status artifacts

swords spearheads anticipate achievement of sharp pointed wishes?
define mist millennia centuries into cult time cut religious purposes?
swords spearheads buried ritually cast into water bodies peat bogs
sacrificed into bodies of water rivers bogs of no possible recoveries?
ritual hoard objects often all broken killing future utilitarian usages?
deposition purposefully discarding valuable items swords spearheads

achieves what individual social time lost fixated ritual overtones?
what mysteries into rivers lakes wet places cast what urge needs?
what neurons spark brain zaps fire camera flash in core vortexes?
votive faces eyes ears see hear appear ever attentive guardians?
terracotta votive offerings amass phalli breasts uteri fascinates?
possibilities pre Viagra Greco Roman Bacchantes desires orgies?
