Round the World to see howfar it is -10
Saqqara
Blinding light burns the eyes
Squinting to see the horizon ever drawing nearer.
The necropolis rises upwards
And the crumbling step shape shimmers and grows clearer.
Air borne sand scratches at the skin
Frowning to focus on rubble, smoothing stones.
Earth to earth, returning
Shards of antiquity’s skyscrapers and disintegrating deities’ bones.
It is raining cats and dogs.
Dedicated to Anubis and Bastet, millions await
Entry into otherworldly eternity,
Where the pack serves its master, whose absolute whim seals its fate.
Unanswered questions torture the mind
Striving to rationalise six millenia into one brief revelation.
What happened here?
Kings and gods, pets and beasts weighing up the probability of reincarnation.
