Chapter III

the waters

Nun

Naunet

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.
