mythos-theos:

“She is made of glittering eyes and lithe lines.
She commands a fire so bright,
it could set the whole country ablaze.
She never sat right beside your throne;
there was no room for her to pace,
no chance for her to roar. She leads pharaohs into battle,
and you can hear her war cry,
as you sit and rule, so still
you fear you may become stone.
But she does come back to you,
and she will stay for quite some time. You should not trap a lion.
A goddess made to hunt
does not deal well with confinement. She leaves when you cannot,
proud and harsh and beautiful.
She leaves,
and it is too hard to watch,
so you turn away.”
