- Thousand of years, we have said
- “as above, so below . . .”
- There are stories in the stars
- we have forgotten:
- in Orion’s bones
- a palimpsest of Sahu . . .
- It will take someone as wise as Isis
- to put all the pieces together;
- we are told she brought this corpse to life,
- “O king, I provide you with
- the eye of Horus . . .”
- . . . to hatch (astral) butterflies . . .
- the flying one within
- that coinhabits this caccoon,
- the fine body that continues
- when this gross body breathes no more . . .
- Isis searched unsuccessfully
- for the phallus of Osiris,
- though she revived him, he was
- no longer alive in this engendering
- dimension . . . The branch she used,
- as cipher, filled her
- with Hawk-headed Horus, the son
- who was born into every Pharoah-king
- & created a new tree of (conscious?) genealogy
- given through the pyramid rite,
- the stairway to the stars:
- “Awake for Horus! Arise against Seth!
- Raise yourself as Osiris, as a spirit,...
- . . . O earth, hear this which the gods have said!
- Re speaks, he makes a spirit of this King,
- who receives his spirit-form in front of the gods
- as Horus son of Osiris; he gives him his spirit . . .
- . . . the doors of the earth-god are opened for you,
- the doors of Geb are thrown open for you
- . . . The Netherworld has grasped your hand
- at the place where Orion is . . .
- . . . O king, be a soul like a living star . . .”
