Scuffling for notice the drone wears out in the chamber of queens
Staking their claims in uncharted territories
Joined at the tail the cat and rat brawl in disdain
Words as the piercing of arrows puncture her joy
Gestures of disdain dampen her zest
Artillery of songs besiege her courage
Taunted jeered and hunted the sterile tree fades in summer
As the disappearing shoreline motherhood recedes
Like scorched lands in the savannah lushness evaporates
A byword to bystanders a scandal in the county
Soothing companion fueling her fury
Passing the buck a rehearsed script
Weaning her soul from despair
Ascending the higher rock where men may cleave
Holding the horns of the altar
Mercy falls with vengeance
Son of consolation is born
Ruler of kings enthroned
