Renting the Veil
Covered in shadow
White to light
She is married
To the night
...yet she claims
I am owner
I am might
I have won
It's my right
...to rule man
Androgynous
When at war
A goddess
No more
...to appease appetite
Kings and Queens
Bound to glory
They honor and venerate
Her ancient story
...empty womb
