Queen of Phantoms

Lady of Ravens

Lady of Ravens strides among warriors heaped high like snowdrifts, bloodstained mounds, reeking, foes’ limbs entangled, embracing. Food for her black feathered children.

They know. Their buzzing hunger flies, seeking the Dark Woman’s fermenting presents.

Listen… to rough throated croaked jagged graces

echoing eloquence shared among corpses.

Encore, mort…

More, again…

Morrigan.

~ Wry Welwood late twentieth century, previously unpublished, re-edited May 2021.

The Dark Queen, much-maligned, has more than one aspect.
