My man does odd things. I never know what to make of him.
After work in the back rooms of the temple, I was just coming out of a trance
and I found myself sitting on a sarcophagus.
It's always odd, wondering what to do when one's faced with something like that
Luckily I was well equipped, still with my knife from dealing with the sacrificial offerings that day
So the obvious thing to do was
to use it.
Luckily it wasn't too difficult
but I really wondered
if this was a sensible thing to do.
I went carefully
but still wondered
but excitement got the better of me
as I worked in the dark cavern of the tomb.
Sometimes the knife got caught
and I really asked myself whether I should be doing this
but despite my familiarity with the chants and incantations,
no answer came.
Finally the lid was open
and my heart jumped beats in wonderment at what might be inside
as I lifted the wrapping
and the embalming blankets
the sight became quite extraordinary.
Magic filled the air and I was startled
by what became revealed. I unpacked the contents
and didn't really know what I was doing
I thought that mummified bodies were all dried up, powder and dust but as this one emerged
the flesh seemed almost alive
This was too terrifying and I went to sit down and think
Love and kisses,
Pippa xx
