People Become Things: Carreg Samson




This is a watercolor painting called, “Wales - Carreg Samson Abercastle,” by British artist Ian Sidaway.





Carreg Samson is a Neolithic site in south-west England. The standing stones are believed to have been erected possibly as long as five thousand years ago.

Sometimes people lay on top of each other
like rocks, but rocks stay that way for centuries.

Sometimes people lay on top of each other
like rocks, but people crack, crumble to pieces.

Sometimes people lay on top of each other
like rocks, but rocks watch civilizations fall.

Sometimes people lay on top of each other
like rocks, but people fall, watch each other fall.

Sometimes people lay on top of each other
like rocks, but rocks on rocks always remain rocks.

Sometimes people lay on top of each other
like rocks, but people on people become things.

People look at rocks on rocks and make paintings.

If rocks looked at people they would crack, laughing.
