Thickens, on the rise
Islands and mountains
Fading, in steps of blues and tourquoise

Like hailstones fallen to Earth
For hours, they gathered
Like hailstones falling to Earth
Like hailstones falling to Earth
A trickle at first
Then a torrent
Then a tumult
Until the space filled
In a thunderous storm
Monolithic Sphinxes

Was like landing
On an alien planet
A stranger in a strange land
Sights, sounds, smells
Unlike anywhere else
In a country
Unlike anywhere else
