Queen

Queen
Don't you know your queen?
Ripped, heaving
Flower bloom at my feet
Don't you know your queen?
Cracked, peeling
Riddled with disease
Don’t you know me?

No family is safe
When I sashay
Don't you know your queen?
Gleaming
Wrapped in golden leaves
Don’t you know me?
Rank, ragged
Skin sewn on in sheets
Casing the barracks
For an ass to break and harness into the fold
