To Rosalind 

         Store Future


no works are better than these words 
embedded in DNA
in blossoms 
     soon after solstice
  
   life emerging yet again
         though flowers fade
images live on
              taking epochs to un-scroll 
                     struggle never-ending
deeds 
    in digital domains
                maintained forever
                                  
even better approach
  capable of surviving
        like DNA
from a hero’s tomb

an unknown soldier
cut from a Trojan War
so that we may hear
faint sounds of Homer
