Perfect Face

(Thanks to Thebes Egypt BM)



Perfect Face
Rameses II

Transported in same way
by sleds and boats
as at Stonehenge
over 200 miles

One may wonder not
about Sun and Moon firstly
but about how his skin
could become that smooth

His looks that gracious
his smile that young
his goatee that tied
his headdress that blue and yellow

How the granite continues
into an adolescent body
shape—strong shoulders
on slender torso

To lose its face to sanctity
from perfection of features.
