In dead silence,
With Isis standing on the prow,
The barque of Osiris sails into night.
Dimly revealed in luminescent flakes of vapour,
The great oars nor splash nor sound,
Dipping into darkness amid bodies drowned in sleep.
Calmly, with weightless quiet,
Past the hills of sand-swept Thebes,
Past the monuments of the pharaohs,
Beyond the currents of the river Nile,
Osiris sails into night.

I received a BA degree in English from the University of Texas at Austin in 1972. In 1971 was admitted to the graduate school in English. In 2017, I received another BA from UT Austin, in History. Starting in 1973, I made dozens of trips to India and Nepal. In 1980, I started a wholesale business importing art and handicrafts from those countries.
In 1973, I began publishing poetry in literary journals and anthologies, with many poems published continuing to the present 2026. The first of these is the one seen on the label of this fragrance of reed diffusers.
