Hieroglyph (Mortality)

Hieroglyph (Mortality)

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

In the halls of Un-
Remembered-- mummied members'
hieroglyph in sand...

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

tour guide leads a way
to throne and center piece
a beam from on high

as 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! Scream the ghosts)
