Leave only footprints

Hippo prints, Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda. Note the tire track
on the right came before the hippo passed.


Tracks from the past
Impressions in the mud
Here but now gone
Our footprints linger on


Leopard print, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

Take only memories
Leave only shapes
Elephants, hippos,
Leopards and apes


Chimpanzee foot and knuckle prints, Kibale National Park, Uganda

Casts left in African soil
As animals make their way
The stories mud could write
Of the details of the day


Elephant print, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

Rain falls heavy from the sky
Washing away yesterday’s marks
But leaving the dirt soft
For fresh footprints to start


Human footprints, Rwanda
