Ptolemy Has To Fall

INSIDE A BASKET LIE
THE OLD LION’S REMAINS.
HE PAID HIS DEBT WITH LIFE
CAESAR WON’T FORGET HIS NAME.

TO CHANGE THE FATE OF A REIGN:
THE HEAD OF POMPEY FOR THE PEACE.
DISRESPECTFUL
OUTRAGEOUS

HANDS POUR CUPS OF WINE
TOASTING THE FRATRICIDE.
POURED FOR A WAR TO BEGIN
UNDER THE EYES OF THE SPHYNX
CLEOPATRA
RETURNS FROM THE EXILE,
PULLING TIGHT ISIS AND THE WOLF FOR THE YEARS TO COME

MARE RUBRUM
AN ASHEN GLOW:
BURNT PIECES OF
A WONDER FLOW

REINFORCING THE SIDES
SETTING THE ASSAULT
THE BATTLE OF THE NILE

CLEOPATRA
MUST RISE
THE QUEEN
REVEALED FROM HER HIDE
REINFORCING THE SIDES
SETTING THE ASSAULT
FOR ROME

STEPPING THE SWAMP OF THE NILE
CAESAR COMMANDS THE FINAL ASSAULT.
OVER A DESERT OF FIRE,
HE LEADS THE FORCES UNDER HIS CONTROL
SHIPS ON/ THE SKIN OF THE NILE
FLOW IN PIECES

MARE RUBRUM
AN ASHEN GLOW:
BURNT PIECES OF
A WONDER FLOW

REINFORCING THE SIDES
SETTING THE ASSAULT
THE BATTLE OF THE NILE

CLEOPATRA
MUST RISE
THE QUEEN
REVEALED FROM HER HIDE
REINFORCING THE SIDES
SETTING THE ASSAULT
FOR ROME

SOLDIERS PREPARED GARRISONS READY TO DIE
TO GIVE BACK THE REIGN TO THE LEGITIMATE OWNER
THE QUEEN WILL RISE FROMA A BED OF CORPSES
THAT IN THE YEARS WILL BE PART OF THE SAND

A BOWLINE
IN HER WOMB
PULLING TIGHT
ISIS AND THE WOLF
