Sojourn In Egypt

1

Omar Pound

never knew

his father.

2

From Isis

Dorothy got

what Ezra

couldn't give

her: a son.

3

Sand now

only

knows the

well beside

which the

bloody clothes

were left.

4

At the bottom,

a living Joseph

or a dead Caliph

al-Hakim?

5

Dust

and secrets

turned to dust.

6

Ezra signed

the birth certificate

but Ernest

was with her

at the hospital.

7

The soap bubble lives

of the artistes

turned to art

and reflection

from gossip -

a Midas' touch

turning everything

into words.
