Isis

She seeks

and finds

ancient artifacts

in the sands 

of distant lands

I sought

safety

and

solace

in Saturday mornings

by the pond

and a goddess

on the TV Set

She summons

the power

placing

the

gold

glinting in the sun

uttering words

Almighty

Isis

saving the day

I scurried

outside

placing

the

brass

pounded promise

to the sky

uttering words

Almighty

Isis

 saving nothing

could save

nothing

so I watched

my grandmother grasping

your trembling hand

begging and praying

until

the shaking

stopped
