gifts for the journey
tomb steele for a seated child with grapes and bird
a full cup
some beaten gold to barter
a dog at beck
fish fill the sea
and we are going across!
cloak over tunic
styles of the time
the Egyptians say it’s
Ka and Ba
must be able to return
who knows?
they may be right
one must always be ready
practical problems
what to pack?
how much can you carry?
you have to be ready for anything
and nobody’s ever known
quite what that means
but a bottle of something anyway
some coin for the crossing
nobody wants to be gone
but if and when
best well dressed
you never know whom you’ll meet
fast talking
heroic scenes!
these are the pictures
of the dead
as they remain to us
in all the years we find ourselves
and they must find us gone
through every kind of weather
stone keeps us looking best
