The Pharaoh Sails to Orion
‘Get away from me!Take heed to thyself and see my face no more!for in the day Thou see my faceThou shalt die!’– Exodus 10:28
A constellation of divinearchitecture built on EarthA holy harbour – OrionNautical ascension to the firmament.
Ship-shaped barrows openmy heart to the wisdom of this landSailing with the Serpent Chimeraof a fiendish sandman.
The Unicorn arrives with the westwindto dream His funeral‘Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee.’
Slumbering with the ebband the flow of this foaming tomb‘Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee.’
Reveal your face to meand guide me through the Stygian fieldsEnthral my soul to Sepedet’sbeams to serve Your will
Sailing on the distant seasfrom darkness to deliveranceTales like the ocean written to the Draco’s glance.
Ruling with the scythe of deathyou tear our philosophies apartAn ancient starwalkto merge into the stars.
‘Open thy veins for my venomKiss the cobras with thy twisted tongueSo shalt thou join the empyrean circusWhere beggars mournand seraphs danceIn this twilight cathedralShall I wed thee,O Bride of the Netherworld.’
Join my soul the Hunter in the sky.
