"You see
We are still kings and queens
Outlines of our crowns
still visible in the shimmer
Gowns and boots
still wardrobes that we
own
Our battlehorses
standing saddled and ready
so mount
and draw your sword
There is an entire court
under the sun and the moon
waiting
waiting for their queen to come home
waiting for their king
to reclaim his throne"
"It is written
somewhere
deep within our skin."
