In the halls of Un-
Remembered
hieroglyph in sand...

Gold cartouche dunes sigh
lost times alien memory
ancient gods have died

tour guide Egypt’s dunes
to throne and center piece
a beam from on high

Old heavens watching
an empty chamber of stones
pictographs of bone

What all was common
for Amen and kid king Tut,
now ghosts in the dust...?

(Oh mortality!
Silent screams in jars of clay
Preserved in wrappings)
