Modern Petroglyphs

Lizard and toad skitter across rock
and sand
oblivious to centuries-old drawings
of magical power and luck.
Stone trees whisper witness
living flesh to the sorcery
of symbols.

Ceremonial markings
continually appear.
Sandstone and granite --
living rock, home to hawk, coyote
wolf, rabbit, chipmunk --
proclaim modern belief in ritual signs.

Rob + Tama Forever --
Rambo = Dwayne --
Butt Rock --
Supplications to gods
of love -- fame -- power
stand silent testimony to mystical belief.

For posterity we preserve the first,
for the present we wash away the last.
