Day Eighteen: The Ziggurat

Ancient ziggurat, looming o’er

Peasants digging faster, lower

Deeper into the heart of heat

Desert’s soul and sandstorm blower.

 

Seeking something lost and sweet;

Empty huts or tomb’s replete

With treasure sparkling, bold and bright

Left over from the shipwrecked fleet?

One thought on “Day Eighteen: The Ziggurat
