carpe diem
seize the day
or desert die
sarcophagus
display
in mausoleum
Cinderella
in glass case
life story
written in paint
picture hieroglyphs
life story coffin
alphabetic
logographic
elements
hierós sacred
glýphō Ι carve engrave
tà hieroglyphikà grámmata
the sacred engraved letters
regretting
the time
you lost
three strokes
the beautiful young people
the young military recruits
adrenaline rush
raced into battle
horses historic
chariot dust swirls
veils muscled beauty
spears swords ready
fallen youth fell
desert sands cloak
while Cinderella waits
time stepped aside
monumental awe we
admire your beauty
atoms sand glass fallen
nuclear fusion fission
nuked age picked over
