A priest sings incantations from the Egyptian Book of the Dead; flood waters settle in skull-lined catacombs; an old man is hypnotized by the merciless beauty of a wildfire. In PETROGLYPH, Pastor speaks of the transformation of forces from their apogees to their base forms: the transcendent becomes material; things in motion come to rest; sounds fade to white noise. Each of the eight poems is a discussion of decay, not in the biological sense, but as a cycle that unites us with all that we experience; they are vignettes that find us in the very moment of change, each one like a petroglyph moving through time.
