For Amun

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
