Thoth's baboons at Hermopolis, who bark and raise their paws to the rising sun every dawn. The priests swear they are greeting it. The baboons have never confirmed. Some rituals are just joy, performed loudly, at volume.
Dawn is coming. They are already restless on the temple roof, throats warming up, paws ready.
Tomorrow they will bark again. The sun will rise again. The priests will insist it is a greeting. The baboons will say nothing, as always.
“The dawn baboons barked at dusk. All of them, throats open, paws raised to the setting sun — the full dawn greeting, performed backwards. The priests insist it was a greeting. The baboons have never once been wrong about which way the sun is going.”
They greeted the wrong sun, or the right one at the wrong time.
Four bonded frog-and-serpent pairs who are the conditions before creation — water, infinity, darkness, hiddenness — retired and buried at Djeme, still raising the Nile.
