Jurassic Huddle
Three bivalve fossils
about 185 million years old
looking as if
just arrived from yesterday
found like litter droppings
at the cliff bottom
of a disused country
branch line cutting
All
bunched in mudstone silt
like a little nucleated
swallowed family
Poised now
between index and thumb
like a calcite question
on the long animal
and cynosure
of this hand
