Expressive Encounter
by Steven McCabe
I worked on the back porch early
drinking black coffee
like in a trance
creating expressive black & white works on paper
I thought of as ‘cave art.’




As the rising sun created light and heat
Denisovans climbed the back stairs
to the porch.



Denisovans stood watching me
in a dark and cool room.

I pointed outside the window
they touched their skin.
