Farewell to the Queen by James Reuben Hunyar On her head lies the crest of the moon And her breasts are white lilies With petals like mute tongues Carrying sacred pools of water Little houses sit in terraced hillside Atop a valley where shadows feast like hungry children Farewell, farewell, a prompt farewell Her lips are costumed in rose Scent of rose, breath of rose But her tongue is stabbed by thorns Farewell, farewell, a quiet breeze Slips under her skirts of moss and black vine And a quartet of birds sing songs To an audience fallen asleep |
