Dynasty after dynasty Pharaoh’s oldest daughters
Walk along the riverbank, looking for baskets
Sometimes they find small animals or figurines
Made of plastic or resin with strange letters
Stamped on their bottoms. They’ve found Osiris
Many times but he growls at them and they
Put him down again. Moses hasn’t reappeared
But Death sometimes turns up, wrapped in a blanket
Blinking sleepily in the bright sun.
