Pyramidal Design

Tucked away in tiny alleys Golden secrets in pyramidal design, Tumbling layers of flats and homes In blocks of cream and golden limestone, Indistinguishable behind screens and doors And built to withstand the heat and cold. Fertile land farmed in terraced slopes So precious it’s preserved for crops, Animals seem hidden away In sunken pits, not on display. A different world in the Mediterranean, So much so it is a haven Of safety from the wider world, Let’s pray it can be preserved.
