Claiming My Egyptian Heritage

I claim my Egyptian heritage of
Love, rivers, healing
Geese fly high above our pyramids 
Those rocks moved with magnetic
music
Light cascading through space
Thoth dances above our crowns

I sway beneath Amun-Ra
She-He caresses my auburn hair
a deepening of irises 
it was my thunder and
my own blistering hands
Nile flows freely watching

Now my goddesses sit in their Merkaba’s
chanting around an eternal flame
carrying melodies of change
violined voices on violet strings

A million workers marched barefoot 
through fields or furnaces
aligning cores below to above
Sirius clapped assent
urging me out into Space
Pyramid ! Triangle of my refuge 
and direction

While above signs 
watched my movement 
up the Squinx
to a northern node
Bronzed arms encircle my hips
as Africa unites with Asia

I did not know that 
in a Southern land I
would disembark to
crack hearts of steel
with spirals of crystalline carbon
a moment at Last Supper
I relived this teaching

Myrrh rained down to
anoint 
My Heart was His-
Hers !
