The Nazca Lines, drawn in the desert sand
by ancient Peruvians over years
by beating the sand into the earth and
dancing in animal shapes. The wet tears
of rainwater threaten these shapes and all
we try to protect by banning access
to these sites, which will eventually fall
from environmental changes and stress.
The Condor, the Heron, the Hummingbird,
seen only from high altitudes and space,
everybody knows that the bird is the word
what in the near future will take the place
of these geoglyphs when they're washed away
there's no telling how much longer they'll stay.
