Alaanja
claim me from
abandoned temples and unsacred rites
anoint my body with the wine of the dead
lay me within golden pyramids to become the journeying dust
dissolved into sand; swept into sky
dissolve my existence
transform me beneath the sun’s inverse light
golden Amun-Ra
subsume me into your kingdom
unmoving and unseeing acolyte of the god
speak to me of life anew
fertile honeyed in your embrace
anoint my soul through its restless recreation
revelation; rebirth
vision of the rising sun
