a walk on water
lapis lazuli offered me
protection,as I walked
the land of the dead
being just half woman
and the shadows puppet,
i subsisted in nowhere
for eons
my darkness ended
as a mirror of light,
shone a course
to cross a river
a silhouette waited,
at the beginning
with one
breath of life left
I crossed the Nile,
no water touched my feet,
(but shadow gods followed me
trailing cloaks of wrath)
I was never meant
to come back
you brought me here
protected me,loved me
and when you tired of me
forgetting the shadows
haunt
My hair trails a path
I am crossing the Nile,
moonlight covers
the path of my return
I am almost
half a woman again,
and the shadow of wrath
crosses my face
