Sekhmet and the Age of Enlightenment

 

 

Our Lady of the Desert

Queen of cats and

Empress of the sands

Looking out of weathered granite  

From a half-forgotten land

Between her furry feline ears

Shes carrying the sun

 

This gallery is for the Age

Of Enlightenment - the shelves

Are stacked with books in leather backs

Analysis and History . All the knowledge

Of the world and Greek

Statues of marble muscled youths

Doing athletic things with discs

Instead of wearing them between the ears
