Bold beasts
suspended in sandstone,
traveling through time,
rambling nowhere.
Angular, circular,
intense with purpose.
Hands drawing hands.
Hands drawing tracks.
Cut with care
and crude tools,
dyed with earth's pigments,
their instruments of art express:
respect for ravens
and fear of snakes;
pursuit of elk, bison,
antelope and deer.
Meals shared
with stories of the hunt.
Visions published in stone.
Preserved for centuries.
