all hail the queen.
HER MAJESTY’S IN THE SKY WITH STARS
FOR EYES AND A CRESCENT MOON SMILE OF LAVENDER TINT
THE WORLD AT HER FEET AS DIRT AND WEEDS
GROWING TALL TO REACH UP AND TOUCH HER
ONLY ABLE TO GRASP A SPECK OF HER STARDUST
BECAUSE SHE MOVES ON TOO FAST TO BE HELD
I AM JUST A CATERPILLAR WITH MUCH TO LEARN CHASING AFTER HER
LIKE A TIMBERWOLF HOWLING AT LA LUNE
BECAUSE WHEREVER SHE WALKS, FLOWERS BLOOM
AND HER TEARDROPS ARE HONEYDEW
THOUGH I WISH SHE WOULDN’T CRY
GILDED LAURELS CROWN HER HEAD AND
CONCORD GRAPE VINES ARE VEINS TATTED ON HER SKIN
SHE HAS DELPHINIUMS FOR RIBS AND BONES
CHERRIES ROLLING OUT OF HER MOUTH WHENEVER SHE SPEAKS
AND THE BLUEBIRDS INCARCERATED IN HER LUNGS COME
ALIVE WITH EVERY MELODY.
