Pharaoh had a brother, twin to the root
Two of them there doted on
Only one head fits the crown
Two side by side indistinguishable
Undecipherable as an hieroglyph
Equal beloved, taught noble ways and bred for rule
Memphian atrocities a black rite
A ceremony unbecoming
Becoming Pharaoh
Child made catamite, how to destroy angels
Bones pulverized undercudgel
Skin a map of tortures
Purple as the hanged man
Dizzying the depths, stygian demesne
Ideasphere, a realm of torturous innovations
Teeth the avalanche of this tumult
Tumbling like pearls off a torn lace
Steel hardens
Serpents coiled at the brow rouse
One of death, one of living, of the same blood
Pharaonic birth deemed by demise
Trauma lends more to kingship than lineage or force of Will
Psychic intuitions and supranatural logics unlocked through ritual killing
Forged of utmost clammy fear strange adrenal lockpicks
Side by side in bedlam, racked by their age
Aeons, cruel and strange
