Toast

Scarab on her forehead

gnawing on her bones

In tomb of dust and musk

A golden coffin

as her deathbead

Adorned by red and blue,

Chipping paint along the rim

The sand dyed slightly red

It's clear that blood was spilled here

Skeleton of ancient times

with jewelry on it's head

Resting beside the glorious coffin

Rusted chalice next to boney hands

A final toast

Before the end

A promise for the next life

A promise of meeting and love

A promise to live until both have white hair

It was a final goodbye

And maybe the beginning of hello
