to harness all attention -
the sunflower

eye of Odysseus blind to
Akhenaten's might

#791 Karnak

...Karnak was a "dynamic" temple complex, because several pharaohs built their temples there. As for example Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV) did in the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt...Akhenaten introduced monotheism with his religion of The Aten (or Aton), the only god to worship, the Sun, to Egypt. There are even scientists who say that Akhenaten created this Atenism, to become the only and most powerful ruler of Egypt, because he saw his self as The Sun...

old drinking buddies
absorb the darkness of night -
spewing expletives
