Distant tribesmen bore the corpse away
The stomach slit and stuffed with marsh plants
Frankincense and parsley
Concubine, cook and cupbearer strangled
Horses slaughtered
A casual collective death
Under a barrow of earth
The walking ashes and talking dust
Had no such burial ground
No cenotaphs or monumental spaces equal to the task
Instead a lead sarcophagus
Built to last a hundred years
Interred the fragments of a flagless nation
Erased from every map
