Grave
Graven
Gravura
Gravitas.
Graver.
Engraver.
A
typeface based on copperplate style,
Calligraphy
Caliph
Cartography,
The
maps of the heart show our provenance,
The
journeys we’ve made, what we bring,
What
we have gained.
Script
If
not scrimshaw
Scroll
work
Engravings
Engrained
Carving
bone or ivory
Harvesting
whalers’
Handiwork,
byproduct of
What
our DNA brings forward
As
if carved into our
Choices
as we make them,
Plainly
Once
we open our eyes
As
we take that one step at a time.
Don’t wait.
If
scrolls are not read
When
they’re ready they become relics,
Turned
to stone and bone fragments
To
be pieced together by
Men
Women
of another time,
Whiling
away a present to seek
Seeds
of a story they have
Forgotten.
Scrimshaw.
Harvest.
