Anubis Smiles Poem by Tom Billsborough
Anubis Smiles
Anubis smiles
Sirius rising. He understood
The power of prophecy
And the abundant flood.
Arms raised to bring a complex liturgy
To mask the sanctity of science.
Words sharp as mica and the mirroring spears
Arrayed before the wide protective sands.
Oh Pharoah! Plunge your hands
Into this bowl of seeds
And may the coming tide
Be proportionate to your needs.

Like the visuals in this one Tom, I can see him stood there arms raised shouting the out the odds. nicely done.
The priest became the Pharoah because he figured that the star Sirius (the Dog Star) rose above the sun on Midsummer's day. This was the signal for the annual Nile Floods which reached their peak in August. It doesn't happen now, I think mainly since the building of the massive Aswan dam on the Upper Nile.
