Ayers Rock

Sacred Uluru
At 1000 million years old
its age is incomprehensible.
I do not understand this place.
A mountain in the desert
A fiery iceberg still pushing, pushing upward
out of the earth
into The Dreaming.

I trespass across its songlines.
I should feel terror, but I do not.
Awe.  Yes.
Serenity.  I'm trying.
I know for certain there are no ghosts here.
Uluru stands alone.
It will outlive the human race.
