Roman Sycamores

In the realm of myth
Temple pylons stand at noon
Staring out to open seas
Isis is looking for secret names
Alexander has a hidden stature of radiance
Papyrus of Roman citizens
Gold and broken headed statues
The tomb lies beyond time
Two sycamores grow there.

Coptic basilica
Vacant courtyards
Temple enclosures
Holy structure
A sanctuary to the Ptolemaic.
