Sphinx

There are secrets behind her veil
of hair and silk
that separate reality
from myth
her flesh from hieroglyph
a woman, a goddess perhaps,
keeping her knowledge to herself
and her life a riddle
of metaphors
disguised as truth—
hers is the face that hides
the history of her race
and the knowledge
of what will come.
