Ziggurat Tour

Sumerian sun
through the City of Ur
a sandstorm


gray sky
looking through shades
for color



desert dawn
the only colors
a mango sky



cold morning
the desert sun
atop the Ziggurat


Abraham's home
crumbling ancient bricks
beneath my feet


noonday wait
the heft of PPE gear
on my back



lonely walk
in mounds of rubble
looking for...what?
