Critiques please and I need a name for this poem.Can someone help?

Old prospector

touch starved,

carved by a life lonely

courageous.

Lowly, slowly,

methodical experience

indulgent of

long expeditions

through sand, over stone ledges,

shrub and bog

diverting thought.

Seventy lonely

years with only the aching

desire for expression, for contact

for human touch

reduced to improvisation,

art on a rock,

tacit knowledge,

graffiti facet,

stone faced,

chiselled,

dreamed.

died

fossilized,

.

    poetry is about self expression you seem perfectly clear in your writing. How about introspection of the prospector
