antoinette

show me

the cracks of us,

mapped masquerades

carved in baroque

our legacy

trapped in time

guileless hearts

barbed with crowns

of power

too great for

a king

without a roar,

a queen

without a poise,

two children

woke by noise

of fury

in the night

i lay

by your side

and whisper

through the chaos

show me

the cracks of us,

these scars

of the revolution.
