Dawn cracks upon two horizons
copious latency
within a labyrinthine of bramble
in limestone
Neferiti’s adrift with syncope
Amenhotep’s turmoil is inert
peasants renounce caustic bluster
the venerated sun disc rots
” I ruled with temerity.
By decree I offered a new world.
Then the brutes ravaged it.How can anyone concord with the animus beasts?”
