Sekhmet (Small Statue)

Sekhmet is gold-skinned,

dressed in blue,

with bands of red and green

around her arms and neck.

Her dignified lion head

wears a black wig

down past her shoulders,

striped with gold lines

equidistant,

and neatly cut

straight across.

Crowning her head

is a lump of gold

shaped like a rearing cobra.

She sits, eye height,

beside my desk.

I am looking for a better,

more suitable spot.

But  perhaps not.

Here, we keep
good watch on each other.

This started out to be a'small stone', but it grew! Then I wrote the small stone.
