The Jericho Maze
 
Amazing isn't
It how we blocked
You midway—clocked
Your death timed your
Breath— 
The walls
Have closed in— 
The Jericho Maze
Has crumbled at your
Feet
Earthquake
Tectonic plate
Your destined fate
Bottomed out lake
Archaeologists
Extremists
The Jericho Maze
Tell es-Sultan
We guided
You through
A military mind
Exercise
Forestalled
Your onward
Movement
Led you to
Demise
We Built a mind
Install— 
Palestine-like
Shrine
Vault of Gold
On the West Bank
Pouring assayed
Value at the mouth
Of the lavish cave where
We drink sacred wine
Idling time 
Our Herod the Great
Establishes a winter 
Residence at the entrance 
The Jericho Maze
Unicursal
One-way path
Winding through
Confused minds
Disorientation
Wrong turns
Dead ends
