Impressions

a footprint in the sand
wet, sticky green moss
on an old gray stone

naked, hand-less statues
with pupil-less eyes
frozen in a pose

of glory, ashen bodies
curled in fetal position
with leathery skin

bleached bones
baking in a desert
as vultures circle

pyramids pointing
to an invisible lion
stretching his paws

out in the night
sky, stars shine
over our heads
