Annotation:
This poem is from the viewpoint of a mummy. She recounts about the days when she was alive and had peaceful days with her husband, her cat and her handmaidens. The mummy dreams about the days that she was beautiful and happy.
Personal Reaction:
This poem is beautiful, yet also dark and slight disturbing. It is nice to hear about the life of an Egyptian, but disturbing to hear about watching her own innards get pulled out and watching her own body be mummified. This story is a dark reminder that we will all be dust and bones one day.
Single Book-Length Poem
