The Troll Queen's Bride
Give that blind man a knife, that blind man a wife,
and the Blind God does not kneel before me.
This knife is my time, a giver of rhyme,
and bread rises on yeasty foremeat.
A sliver of meat, the dogs of Hell's beef:
I take up my quarrel with no man.
Instead, to the stars, I take to my arms,
a moon cannonball is my Trojan.
So on the pondside, the Little Flower of Hell
reads fairytales Grimm, ill-begotten.
Apocalypse Child, the Devil's Bride,
she has no masters
before him.
