How long did these take to make?
How long can they possibly
Last in near their present shape?
You know the story teased out,
The ancient dunes, then inland
Seas, the mountains tilting upward,
Millions of years eroding.
You get this: stony, melting
Layer cake of what once was
Masquerading as what is.
Take a look at that dark stripe.
Wonder what happened in that
Million years. Probably no
Storytelling apes at least.
