The Grove and the Throne of the Undertaker.

The Grove and the Throne of the Undertaker.

A Poem by Alexandra Monroe

I took a walk into the undertaker's grove.
I saw the trees he cast his shadow upon,
a dark shadow they were forced to don.
Ahead sat his unearthly throne.

It was a chair with arms of blackened wood,
a back of stone,
and a seat of bone to complete the throne.
They said it was an affront to any god that stood.

I sat in the throne,
and ruled as a false queen.
And I knew then, my final escape would be clean.
I lept off the bridge's parapet, my sins atoned.
I was no queen, but I reigned upon the undertaker's throne.
