Poem: "Iconoclysm"

[ysabetwordsmith]

This poem came out of the February 7, 2012 Poetry Fishbowl.  It was inspired by a prompt from siliconshaman.  It has been sponsored by minor_architect.  (You might also like my article "Totems, History, and Evolutionary Complexity" which includes a mention of Mammoth.)

Iconoclysm

They move in us,
the spirits of extinct species,
the totems-that-were
before our time.
