substance
as
hail
along colored rivers
with faces and masks
seeing gods
the monolyths
behind walls
answering to followers
, and just that
the natures surmounting
when temple is tree
a snake to translate
a conquest of time
the mortal leaves
leveling sands
staircases leading nowhere
leading to their first step
the eternal steps
looking up
looking down
and seeing a performance
, the theater of void
and
absent ilaupoleas
