Below is the first in the series of poems inspired by one of the Twelve Voices From One exhibition pieces.
Honu, about which Sacred Turtle Petroglyph was written, was created by artist Angela Maroun. It is a lovely piece of art which draws you in so that you can fully appreciate the layers and layers of fiber techniques involved: dyeing, embroidery, needle felting, etc.

Sacred Turtle Petroglyph
by Lou Taylor
Trinity of ancient turtles
Sacred trinity
Etched in stone
Created in felt
For our enlightenment
Reminder of mortality
We were not
The first ones here
Honu is pictured in the lower right.
