- Orion is changed.
- A new man—
- seeing through
- the eye of Horus—
- a new world, a secret
- garden beyond love.
- He looks longingly into
- immortal eyes
- & does not die
- or turn to stone.
- The goddess makes love to him
- & he lives on
- or does he? Never knowing
- this Presence before, he feels
- for his pulse, the blood . . .
- Yes, the rhythmic river runs through
- the geography of the familiar,
- the Nile floods with angels . . .
- & Helius redeems his vision:
- sun, sol, soul connected, one . . .
- The fire at the center of the universe
- radiates outward
- on the chariot of time.
- He looks into the eyes of Eos
- & Merope looks back at him,
- he is awakened.
