WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN
WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN
At 4 am as I swim back up up up
to consciousness I must confess:
I have a thought so horrible my brain
shouts DON’T GO THERE
But too late I see myself in the fetal position
in a rectangular box in the ground
DO NOT GO THERE WE REPEAT DO NOT GO THERE
A box that fits my body perfectly
No room to spare No worldly goods
No Nefertiti me Just my pink tee &
work out capris Silent and calm and dead
But not in a bad way All curled up and ready for the long sleep
