I don’t mind the sun sometimes, the hieroglyphs it shows,

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my gauze,

Cinnamon and sugary and softly mummified,

You never know just how to look through the all-seeing Horus eye.

I’d probably skip on the animal fat and bitumen, but cedar, juniper, and cypress all smell pretty good.

Apparently the scent could also vary slightly depending on who was being embalmed.
