Susan Hawthorne #362 Harappa

can we know how to read
a script in an unknown
language?

this is what I ask myself
flicking through a book
on the Indus script

beautiful diagrams
of birds and other
animals

a woman lounging
a fish swimming
a human figure

on the top line
a person carrying
foods

turns into a scale
in balance like
a fish

there are figures
resembling dogs
or praying to gods
