" The Cauldron "
by Suzán Jiván

The cauldron
gilt silver
Celtic in origin
mysterious objects
uncovered in peat bogs
accompanying
bows and clothing
in low relief
over a thousand
years old
branching stag antlers
flattened
somewhat at random
as shale-tablet
pictograms
playing down rancor
fragmented reliefs
on alabaster statuettes
horned helmets
mountain dwellers
bull's heads
converging forces met
stocky proportions
grasping claws
on temple doors
guardians of the soil
mega-form metaphors
in annual rainfall
anatomy of us all
tour de force...
