The Death of Horus

the eyes of Isis stare down upon the people

who have come to pay tribute to Geb and to

honor the union to Osiris of the underworld

and to their child Horus who, for all these

many years has lived in the shadow of his

parents...  and, who now stands before his

creator and begs to be released from her

control...  with both feet firmly planted on

either side of the Nile, and with outstretched

arms begs for her forgiveness and the siblings

he has killed with his bare hands...  his honor

is no longer present on his countenance as

he is dressed in foreign garments that are not

known to anyone standing near him...  although,

many have fled to other parts of the city as 

they were informed of his approach...    he begs

Isis to reconsider her refusal to share her magic,

tempting her with the death of more children...

And, with one swift motion, she takes hold of

the moon and casts it down onto Horus, knocking

him into the water and with a slight grin she

watches him sink below the surface as he had

never taken the time to learn how to swim.
