Avatar Queen

Avatar Queen The mask or the screen What’s never to know What’s never to see Avatar Queen Your name to mislead One more cryptic posting That always deceives Avatar Queen Both petty and preened The bees in your bonnet Its stinger unclean Avatar Queen You know what I mean With feelings all borrowed And vistas unseen Avatar Queen The sourest cream No reason to wish All hope dressed in green Avatar Queen Your anger unweaned My answer then sharp My rapier clean Avatar Queen Not to sleep or to dream Your nightmare awoken In daylight you scream Avatar Queen One curse washes clean Your blessings defaced No chance to redeem (Dartmouth-Hanover New Hampshire: July, 2016)
