January: Year-day 6
                                             
Sleep (before continuance, before speech):
the planting, protecting and harvesting
of energy, as, when pulled from a beach,
powerful waters rest before they spring
their boiling looks again from the royal beds
of their conceptions, bursting from their hair
amazing diamonds, because their primed heads
know/ just exactly/ how to/ crack despair.
                                                 
Sleep.  And I will teach you in your dreams.
For there is much to learn, and there is much
I can give.  Sleep.  There is far more than seems.
Sleep.  And, when you waken, you will touch
the air with strength and light.  I am your Ra,
I, The United States of America.
