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.
