The guide called it 'the snail'
the staircase spirals in round vail
rocks and boulders methodically arranged
master plan or domination deranged?
places for heavenly observations
the peace and stillness gives consternation
we hurry for answers to the ruins
interior of peninsula the construction looms
what drove them on no one knows
the history unavailable so it goes
but even if we never understand
honor this inventiveness from distant land

excellent!!! i can just imagine the smells, the light, the echoes, the textures of lawn, rock and soil, ancient spirits overlooking its sacred space and those who visit...
