Analysis and comments on Sekhmet, the Lion-headed Goddess of War by Margaret Atwood

Comment 1 of 1, added on July 23rd, 2005 at 10:33 PM.

I love This poem.


the deity who kills for pleasure
will also heal,
that in the midst of your nightmare,
the final one, a kind lion
will come with bandages in her mouth
and the soft body of a woman,
and lick you clean of fever,
and pick your soul up gently by the nape of the neck
and caress you into darkness and paradise

Jacqueline Baker from United States
