'midst gauzy layers
dreams spread wide white egret wings
distant Osiris, hear the young Pharoah's prayers
release him from entombment
by the Nile's silent side
Reincarnate!
and break the night's
eternal bonds
liquid sarcophagus
rebirth one who there resides
"Sun god Ra! Warm this flesh the gods restore"
commands the king of Egypt
behold the man!
among the reeds he stands
a boy no more.
