Rocky earth hardens beneath my feet
Now I stand atop molded concrete
Dead cells, old life
Compacted, form over time
My own feet part of what packs this rock
Past lives carved out, fossils reused
Engraved stone, jagged grid
Ancient thoughts, made of old life
Shells and skin compacted
Sealed in stone for centuries
Engraved stone, jagged grid
Ancient thoughts, made of old life
