because queens
i blamed myself
for your indiscretions for the longest time,
but i came to realize i was not
responsible
for your betrayal;
you were a devil pretending to be a saint—
just another snake
trying to steal away another eden,
but i am the queen here;
so i exiled you from the garden
and i am not sorry—
my entire life i have heard of adam and eve,
how it’s not adam and steve but perhaps
there’s something beyond your comprehension;
maybe it was lilith & eve because queens
tend to be stronger without kings
demanding their heads.
