Blombos Cave

October 25, 2010

Out of moon beams into Africa. A cave beyond ancient, Blombos Cave, on the Southern Cape. 72,000 years ago. Bifacial stone points, seashell necklaces, tools of bone, a cross-hatched chunk of ochre.

From a midden in the dunes, Homo sapiens outside the cave. Moon over what would one day be the Indian Ocean.
