Her history is scarred
like her reflection.
She teaches that
steel and makeup
can both cut a man’s soul
when properly applied.
Her voice is viscous
like blood and power.
She preaches that
covenants broken
can sever a lineage
even if the blood remains.
Her grip is unyielding
like a lock without a key.
She seizes those
already stolen assets which
can further her goals
and ends her enemies like sentences.
