Nuit

it is you that forms
the night arc across the sky
so wide ur arch
the curve is not discernible,
ur body studded with stars

swallow the white moon
birth the sun
deity of the night

arch over all existence
birth a million suns,
sustainer of my life

they haven’t forgotten u
though today u are disguised
as the celestial virgin that births
the saviour of the world

how u ache for re-union
with ur beloved
how i ache for our
lost embrace

our joining would shatter
worlds and rob existence
of its tension

what was once joined and
separated
must be joined again
ur arc only a portion
of the circle

i feel a warm rising
a golden disc
rising from the dead of night

swallow my essence
midnight blue,
Nuit

let it stir inside u
until u are ready
to birth mighty Ra
in a new day
