It has been buried,
Beneath the rubble
Of a million
Distant cities.
Lost, somewhere, between
Ancient ruins
And modern complexes.
Ancient tribes raise requests
To the sky, each night.
Will it return?
Will the gods
Find pleasure
In our sacrifices?
A million nights
Have answered.
A silent sky
Is the response.
