Our first moment

In the beginning was Nun
Primeval waters of nothingness
But beneath the eyes of Atum
We stepped forth
from watery chaos
And experienced our first
Moment

You were as Re
Lighting the heavens
As you traveled the skies
Old kingdom wonders
Wrought in your shine
Dancing the rhythms of
Life

I drew my eyes in kohl
Donning silken robes flowing
Like the sweep of the Nile
In mist kissed morning
Adorned with bangles of gold
Reflecting Nefertiti
In attempt to draw you with
Allure

As if Nut – goddess of the sky
And Geb – god of the earth
We blended together
Like ink upon papyrus
You in the White crown, I in the Red
Two kingdoms merging
In the climactic event of
Unification

Now we walk the netherworlds
Of light and dark
Clothed in the constellations
The melding of ka and ba
Along paths eternal
Treading the footsteps of Osiris
Within divine celestial realms
Transfigured

s.a.t.



If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

till you will see me again and live in me.

you were a foxy cleo
in egypto cotton
shimmering skin
in your top down pharolet

and I a barking mark
chasing your wheels
til you stopped
and those hips whispered

meet me at the luxor baby?

you make em blue suzz
