SYZYGY:
Songs for Fools and Magicians

by Honora Finkelstein

EGYPTIAN NOTEBOOK:
INITIATION

Sakkarah first,
            the subterranean darkness representing fear and death.
Then to the Sphinx at Giza,
            to weep for his decay since last we met.
And next to climb the hall of the Great Pyramid,
            where I became my soul
            and exited the body,
            to be reborn in the King's sarcophagus.

We are light,
and we are energy,
and we were meant to transcend fear and death.

Later, on the Nile, I reflect
             how all beneath the moon is mutable.
The Sphinx, the Pyramids, the temples --
            all decayed or desecrated.

The Taurean, and the Ariean, and the Piscean Ages
            lying one atop the other in the desert,
            silently wait to birth the Aquarian light.
