A Queen to be Damned

A.J. Huffman

The goddess floated
in an ocean of red,
wielding tongues — forked
and flayed — as fingers
that played your mind. A riddle
equivalent to god, she addresses
repent. Your genuflection,
before her, sours,
the words get caught, become noise
of a ceiling flower. You pick
its roots, muddy your hair.
This reflection is sane, but refused.
An older solution is needed,
but your hammer is lost
in the dark. Be patient.
All eyes have power,
and yours run water, turning
stone into blood.
