The Card of Sekhmet-

All being, All giving, Dark Golden Cat
(who ever fucking could be Ready For That).

of war and healing

of claws and keening

not the stuff of safety nets
and yet
and yet
and yet

with sunrise and swordcraft
and midnight fire
for memory and magic

redeeming desire

(the river of ghosts, and the noble son, wounded and brave, wholly undone)

(she calls, she calls as the snake eats the sun)

for rolling the dice and placing the bet,

for finding the temple,

for risking regret.

and now the scarab

and now the flame

Hecate's key is hidden again.
