her bones were stiff from the tight wrappings
she was excited the embalmers had left her heart
where were those canopic jars?
the blue one held her liver
the green one held her lungs
the other two were graced with her stomach and intestines
She began searching the stale tomb, collecting pieces of herself
her horse had been stuffed, not mummified
This annoyed the Egyptian queen
Wait! What were those noises? She heard voices
Human but they spoke a different language
They began to get near her tomb
She waited and waited
no one came
Her organs were collected, and she crawled out of her crypt
two minutes before midnight, Halloween’s Eve
ready to haunt in earnest, eager to begin a reign of terror.
It felt good to laugh, she had missed her stomach muscles
Fully intact, she began her prowl for someone to haunt.
It would not take long
Great costume! Some idiot said to her
Luckily, she did not speak their language.
She always found her way back to
those old Smoky hills,
those mountains that shaped her
in the deepest of ways
She was a siren,a songstress,
and every melody was shaped
by those mountain memories,
Like imprints on her DNA

The Queen of Winter
carries her frozen crown
with quiet joy,
its sapphire gems
a burning beacon
within the blizzard.
Snow doves
and white foxes
dash around
her icy gown
as Midwinter hums
cold tunes of solitude.
She marches ahead
through soft snowdrifts
as the arctic wind
tells her its secrets.
