TO FRANCIS

August 14, 2024

Suddenly I am a queen no longer
I was queen
because you thought and said I was.
Suddenly I am back to being that me
you took me from.
No more high flights
sliding on moon beams.
Just toes feeling the sharpness of
gravel
and the stickiness of tar.

Did I lead you too close to the fire
and so we were burned.
