Images of lizards
birds
sheep
stuck full of arrows
suns
and faces
shaped like moons
were seared into
the blackened surfaces
of jumbled boulders
As if
erupting
the earth
become a man
had showered magmic marbles
in a heap
upon the desert floor
marked
As if
the hands of human beings
were fire and wind,
lightning
on the dark face of time.
