Stuff I Like: Eternal Embrace Foreseeing

I rediscovered this poem in a book that was given to me by my baby bro. So tragic...yet so sweet.

Archaeologists in Italy have discovered a couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, hugging each other.
Rome (Reuters), Tuesday, February 6, 2007

That's the way I want to go
In her arms, teeth intact

Discovered in five thousand years
a beacon to the loveless masses of the future

Our femurs and tibias co-mingled
a love only bones could know

We'll be like black and white movies
an innocent portrayal of a time long gone

They knew how to do it back then, they'll say
just imagine if they still had eyes

-BY RICK LUPERT, The Last American Valentine
