Truly a Queen
i sat on a throne
wearing a crown with pearls and diamonds
they bowed their heads – all of them
one after the other presenting their gifts
addressing me as “my Queen” “my Lady”
waitresses around bringing me wine
holding the length of my glorious gown
i discussed the strategy for the enemy at war
they all listened to me carefully
watching the scene from a distance
stunned, i couldn’t grasp what’s happening
then told myself, maybe i am in heaven
just when i was getting ready to consume this glory
my brother woke me up
from my dream
