Silene

Close to the banks of Kolyma
Thirty two thousand years ago
A squirrel gnawed and buried me
Preserved in the permafrost
Surrounded by Woolly Rhinoceros bones
Unearthed by a research team from Moscow

Radiocarbon dated
And germinated inside of a test tube
I finally came to flower
I know our paths cross again
In the distant future, far from here
How I love sitting with you, dear

Close to the banks of Kolyma
Thirty two thousand years ago
