How many humans lived in the stone age?
More specifically
At any one time
In the paleolithic, the old stone age
In the place between the fens that began at (what is now) Cambridge and the low chalk hills to the south
Near where I live
We cannot count souls. That's too hard. But every time I look across a field at sunrise or sunset I wonder
Someone gave me a flint core, a word that means heart.
From such a core someone split arrowheads and leaf blades
Killers and cutters
Cruel in truth, yet when you handle it you marvel at the skill
As though you are embracing each human heart again
Flint Hearted
