Bracelet

Turquoise, egg-shaped gems,
Like a caterpillar squirming on your arm.
Nine oval bulges
Hooked together.

It shimmers in the sun
But is wintery on your wrist.
A secret hides in this bracelet.
Worn by a regal hand

Was it the queen of the Nile?
Buried with her treasures,
Forever special,
it will lay in her hands.
