Analysis of A Cairo’s Museum Jocular Fantasmagory

A Cairo’s Museum
Jocular Fantasmagory
Cairo - 1949
—————
Satanic quatrains
Toll an apostasy knell
Summoning grim
And sunless hell

My noisy overflowing tram
In unbelievable deafening cram
Announces, in ‘Bukhur’ scents
Its Cairo’s Museum Immense !

Impatient and fidgety as ever
Eager to enter I stood in line
Sensing intense
Extra-sensorial sense

I marveled at everything there
Becoming its true, and I’ll swear
unconsciously conscious
Of turning in thin air

Then became I,
ferocious, so was I told
Viciously malevolent,
and wicked occultly bold

Turning deep darker
In the blackest muss
My blood turned to a fetid
malodorous sickly pus

And as much as
I NOW know
Refraining from timely
And lucid saying NO !

Joined I
Apopsi’s (*) demonic mystery
And sunk in its wild-eye
Murderous tyranny

I knew too much, so was I told
summoned and accused
Of worst sidereal galactic
calamity,  of times of old

Facing a vengeful
Cruel maledictory
And demonic
woe valedictory.

BUT THEN SALLY CAME
Tel Aviv - 1958
Swearing a new loving
faith eternal
I lightly forswore
my vow infernal

And the sweetest girl
I so much love
Now is my divine
most delightful dove

(*) Apopis / Apep: in ancient Egyptian creed an unruly disorderly Demonic Serpent that spreads madness, confusion and chaos
