Elephant Footprints

Folder: 
Resurrection

Around elephant footprints,

small animals circle

to drink the captured rain.



  The ruts made

            by a visitor's drag race

                 have left pools

                    in which

                            butterflies sip.



                                        

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It is said that offterrain
vehicles' ruts can last
for generations, that
they kill animals and plants,
create noise (one hunter
killed an offterrain vehicle
operator last year),
fumes, pollution. They cause
erosion from denuded land
which in turn harms the
water.
