Red Queen

Red Queen

I plunge my gorged soul
into your rabbit hole
looking for a red queen
perfumed in between
the sexes not binary
a lovely green fairy
smooth and perfumed
Love always doomed.

Hello William, this is intriguing! The imagery of the "rabbit hole" and the "perfumed" red queen creates a surreal atmosphere. The search for something beyond binary is fascinating, a "lovely green fairy" defying categorization. Is the love "doomed" because it defies convention, or is there a deeper meaning? The poem leaves me wanting to explore this world you've created. Wonderful work. - Blessings, Daniel

I wonder at the true meaning. Am I curious or just amazed at all the choices all at once? My dogs howl in the backyard at bitches across the fences as do I.
