The Skull Queen
by Melissa R. Mendelson

I came into this world by accident,

slipping between realms,

captivating you with my stark nakedness,

my breathtaking beauty,

as my lips part,

drawing in breath

do you fall.

I step over your dead,

your bones like I did back home.

Your bullets are as soft as my skin.

Your fire is my ice.

Your green forests fall brown

with every step of my bare feet.

I don’t care, if you bow.

I don’t care, if you beg.

Heaven is the lie that I will break.

Hell are the hounds to be unleashed.

All you cling to dearly

is all that I will take.

This is my world now.
