… Hardly any sleep at all.
*
But enough to know
that there is something else.
***
***
The scholars are fond of telling us that
there is no Irish creation myth.
*
But the folk record comes pretty close
with, ‘the earth-shapers’…
*
And, in any case, if the sidhe
are ‘being’, ‘threshold’, and ‘realm’
then, the construction of their mounds
would be a creation, would it not?
***
***
Likewise, the Egyptians,
so we are told, have no creation myth.
*
But they have a mound of creation
which is revealed, in ‘the beginning’,
when the waters subside.
***
***
The Egyptian culture
it should be remembered
emerged from the waters fully formed.
*
Perfect
in every respect.
*
Before the inevitable rot set in…
