Void

                    Void

What gives the Easter Island statues worth?

Their meaning is beyond us.  Since the faith

That raised them died, is it their height, or girth,

Or weight, or eeriness?  Each stony wraith

Of that religion is so foreign to

Us now that it is less than see-through ghost.

The blank and ugly sculptures stare out through

The meaningless coastal air.  Though a host

Of them looks out through blindest godlike eyes

Below those hulking brows, above those stretched

~Wikipedia

Down nostrils, they are secretive moais.

It is with arrogance that they are etched.

..Inscrutable and alien, what might

….They give?  The void is like a blessèd blight.
