The Fallen Queen

I once wrote of the pillars of heaven

The hordes in hell

Oh, how I commanded the world

How I became

A citizen of the higher life

Just as Zeus wanted

People, people, spiders, and people

All held on, made marks, left webs

I did not care

I was a citizen of the higher life

Just as Zeus wanted

Nothing fazed me

I thought to run from Zeus

Meant to dive into the sea

The everlasting blue

That spans all the wondrous world

I dove

I dove

I dove

I flew

I flew until Zeus's rage flew me to Hades

The webs

those insignificant insect gifts

Once an afterthought, now my curse

Please let me go

Please lose sight of

My brightened feathers

For they will lose their sheen

If you keep looking

If you keep looking

If you find me worthy of your world

You would let me go, to fly on my way

I ask

I plead

I pray

I scream

I fight

I bleed

I

I am eternally entrenched

In the Neverending noir night

Nevermore a citizen of the higher life

Just as Zeus wanted
