Dusk is a poor Egyptian
Only one lie then gone
The light is indifferent
but the colors mortify
red and amber and
then turn away
brown jewel dusk
sediment accrual
At the feet of a broken
god pieces strew
with inscriptions
and declarations
"I have eaten the sun
I have lain with the moon
"Have mounted the dawn
and all time as Ra
"A true god makes
these words
"I shall be immensity I shall wake stone
"My name is Neteru
I am this god"
