in the belly of the museum
past the halls of men in power
technological advances
spanning millennia of knowledge 
 
her face and neck and shoulders
seem to hover like a tower
on a pedestal of marble
you stood there for an hour

weeping at the symbols
your knees cold upon the tile
as a golden disc of sunlight
seemed to circle you
entirely 

and so you ask the question
why is she in germany?

the bust of nefertiti

residing in her chamber
like a wise egyptian deity 
no wonder she's so famous
how she radiates divinity

and in the diary of the excavator 
declares -she must be seen
that no photograph could replicate 
gasping for air 
i think you agree

as you weep before the symbols
your knees cold upon the tile
how a golden disc of sunlight
seems to circle you entirely 

and so you ask the question 
once more
why is she in germany?
