When she didn’t protect her heart enough
WAR
*
You thought she wouldn’t
inhale the power that stirred
tornados in her?
*
You thought she wouldn’t
harness her sacred fire that
brewed for centuries?
*
You thought she couldn’t
swish rage in her mouth and not
choke when she swallowed?
*
You thought she didn’t
hush the aches that erupted
when you disappeared?
*
Did you fail to see
that it isn’t just her it's
her ancestors too,
*
lined up behind her
even more sadistic than
you set out to be?
*
Her obsidian blade
rests on her bedside table
awaiting its time.
