the weighing of the
feather against the
heart of truth

lies in the saxifrage
flowers, arcane
and ancient,

papyrus fragments
of what is truth
evolves into powder
through the filaments
of time, the immortal
kiss of preening desire,
blown away as dust
in the wind,

the nightingale of
Oxyrhynchus 
leaves a trace,
a bookmark
feather,

excavating rubbish
mounds, kicking up
layers of soil with
my boots, the flow
of papyrus soon
becomes a torrent
in unequalled archive
of an ancient world
mixed with earth,
blown away as lust...
blown away as dust
in the wind.
