Sarcophagus Poem by Nicholas Peter

Sarcophagus



Covered in bandages,
A proper mummy,
bloodied and scarred.

Your wounds were deep,
embalmed and hidden away,
inside your golden pharaoh tomb.

No one saw you,
locking away your heartache,
you were a skin lamp of Ra,
but fake smiles only go so far.

You left one day,
and we buried your Ankh,
wishing you luck,
and seeing off your Nile funeral party.
