Inkamisana


 

Stairs & rites

not for the foot

 

The building

thinks

 

Angular rock

 

Green skyscraper

 

Black ziggurat

 

Miniature

of time

 

Made

into altar

 

Invention

of the night

 

Sprouting

at dawn

 

Carved rock

praying

as it buds

 

Seeking the seed

to sprout!

 

Saliva

in torrents

 

Cooling waterfall

 

You redeem your field

 

Salt head

 

Stream

of lights

 

Double reflection

 

Stone

& water

 

The same

sprouting
