A Queen

Abigail Kipp

She is complex
in her simplicity.
A simple word
with hidden meanings.
A flip of her hair
to show her discontent.
A radiant beauty
of plain proportions.
Brown hair that
cascades nowhere
Darting coal eyes.
Lavender soft skin.

She is complex,
Able to read anything
speaks four languages
knows enough about everything
to seem smart
a puzzle
with 3 to 1000 pieces
all in white.
Or a hole to
somewhere dark
and cold but
at least
it’s somewhere new.

She is simple.
Easy to please.
All she wants
is honesty
which is the hardest thing.
She laughs at all.
Smiles at nothing.
She is complex
in her simplicity.
And that is why
No one loves her.
