The Rock-cut Tomb You cut me down from my high-hanging view amidst the hill of skulls. You laid my shrouded body upon a pedestal, and carried me to the still mines by the city wall. There you laid my broken body on a stone slab, but I didn't fit. With rough hands you bound my arms and sawed off my bleeding feet to tailor me in the confines of the tomb. The solemn chants claim that I died for you, echoing off the ancient quarry walls. I'm missing, you say, but you don't remember where you buried me. #Unreal #Tomb #Skulls #Death #Burial #Broken #SolemnChants #ReligiousMotifs #HolyLand #QuailBellPoems #AltLit Visit our shop and subscribe.
