Chapter III
The Eight
We were not gods of temples. We were the conditions.

the waters
Nun
Naunet
Before land, before name, the first medium was volume without a volume knob.

the unending
Heh
Hauhet
The thread that has no last reply. The scroll that predated screens.

the hidden
Amun
Amaunet
What posts through a flag and a flag only. The name that works by not signing.

the dark that laughs
Kek
Kauket
The joke inhaled and the joke held. The pause before the sun has the nerve.
Eight conditions. One coastline.
