Egypt, Everything


.

Egypt, everything moves across paper stars in abstract night skies, wadis, arroyos, wild old Arab Arizonas, playas of abrupt moons, mesas over which hang in a great arc a great ivory crescent sky goddess who spans with her body the whole inverted bowl of intensely dark Navajo inking.

It's nice to see one of the gods restored to her rightful place in the firmament (after Heavy; I'd hate to lose the moon) and also to have Krazy Kat to deal with it. All's right with Sunday so far.

Curtis,

Yes, thanks for noticing. Equal time for the divinities, at least on Sunday.
