The Question of Easter Island (Rapa Nui)

The moais stand on Easter Island
Looking fixedly landward.
I know what they are looking for.

Marvels, raised to obsession and mystery,
The statues stare out upon their world,
Upon all the world that their carvers knew.

Did you intend to leave those who see them
Obsessed with mystery?
Do all statues wonder: Where is my Maker?
