    A Prayer To Seshat

    Uploaded by

    Poorya Bagherpoor
    The poem is a prayer to Seshat, the Egyptian goddess of wisdom, knowledge, and writing. It asks Seshat to preserve memories and knowledge by inscribing them in her sacred scrolls and stelae using her stylus dipped in deathless ink, so that they may endure beyond a single lifetime and defend against the passage of time. It specifically requests that Seshat etch the neural pathways encoding a river-daughter's life into her memorial stone, making her name eternally manifest in light.

    A Prayer To Seshat

    by William AltoftPosted on May 28, 2021

    An excerpt from the follow-up/-on to The Floating Harbour.

    Seshat –
    Record Keeper;
    She Who Is The Scribe;
    Mistress Of The House Of Books;
    Goddess Of Wisdom, Of Knowledge, Of Writing –
    whose seven-pointed emblem
    emanates atop her head,
    giving to the sky the stars;
    to the present – memory!
    In regal, pantherine, ‘n
    funerary rings, rosettes
    adorn your form which
    watches ‘n records!

    Grant me your preservation


    by your gift of essence caught
    in th’amber of your libric shelves,
    a-shimmer with papyrus!

    Inscribe upon those scrolls, your


    stylus dipped in deathless ink,
    the ‘glyphs I’ve gathered swiftly
    for to fend off time!

    Strike into your stela slab


    (e’en as you notch the years)
    the pattern-paths of neurons that’re
    writ amidst my mind!

    Gift this river-daughter! Make,


    etern’ly manifest,
    her life in light, that I
    might write her name…
