rock relief

there it lays on the ground
right in front of me
i see a fish
no a dragon
something above history
who knows how
i look into my heart
how beautiful this creature is
like a damsel almost in distress
hunting for her young ones
nothing gets to me
before the eye can see
she must have been so colourful
before she was extinct
the scars on the body look like spheres
she’s sure done well to survive
her tail looks adaptable to swim
the body looks like a hydra but
completely harmless to humans
there a rock and a carving pen
i look at the reptile
i carefully look ‘n’ carve the thing
into the rock
