Great Pyramid

stones

stacked

by men

to honor

kings and gods alike

monuments that took mortal men’s lives

so Pharaohs could journey to the afterlife with ease

scarf tanka

morning walk
summer sun beats down
on her head
breeze plays with golden tresses
covered by her silken scarf

furry hunter spies
feathered prey beyond his reach
sitting in window

——————–

blue moon pinned against

a cloudy summer night sky

peeking down at earth
