February 9th

Well, what a treat (?!), two Haikus today. I popped into the Grant Museum of Zoology after work. There’s an interesting exhibition on animals creating art, I’ll  post about that on my main blog.

But the Haikus today are about two things:

- Some primate skeletons watching the visitors from their high vantage point in the gallery, skeletal CCTV (old Charles Darwin lived on Gower Street).

- And a model of an elephants heart, on average these are an incredible 20 - 30kg’s in weight.

 

Grinning gallery,

Guests of the clergyman’s son,

Old bleached relatives,

Dust kicked, wise eyes weep,

Beneath grey furrows, her hide,

Blood pulses. Slow. Deep.
