Another to add to the list; it comes from Jeremy Hooker's "Soliloquies of a Chalk Giant" (he's the Cerne one) too many to add here, but its funny a chalk giant talking to himself all through the centuries, he's not too keen on being scoured either....


A reindeer bone carved
In the reindeer's likeness
Saddle quern
Loom-weight
Spindle whorl.
A chalk phallus
A lump of chalk
With heavy curves bearing
The image of woman.

A necklace with blue beads
of Egyptian faience, black ones
of Kimmeride shale.
Slingstone
Cannon ball
Cartridge.
A phallus carved on the church wall.
A statuette of the virgin.

A coin worn headless,
with a disarticulate horse
Cartwheel
Crankshaft
flash bulb
a bust of the death-god
cast in imperishable alloy.
