Saqqara

Saqqara is a vast burial ground serving as the necropolis for the Ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis. There are pyramids, such as the step pyramid of Djoser. Located some 30 kms south of modern Cairo

I will meet
you in Saqqara,
on the seventh
day after death.

We will stand
on the edge of life’s expanse
and watch that

old sun god

descend.

Tell me about
your feather’s weight
and I will speak of mine.

Your wrapped hand,
pressed against my hollow chest,
will feel
my soul beat

until

the end of time.
