Bell Beaker Form

Ancient Neolithic form
of barley and burials
from continental Europe
to the Celtic Isles
how did they come
to have that special form?
Were it a form of Matriarchal
linear curvaceous shape
embracing the Goddess
in all her might - given
that each sculptress
to a secret bound oath
that each knew - the last
of the great goddess form
in a utilitarian urn or jar?
It could naturally be interpreted
as the male aggregate -  a vaunt
or mayhap a marriage vessel?
From barley and wine to an urn
all life is contained
in a earthenware container.
