Excerpt from the poem “Queen”:

“Queen is bored with her own beauty and their phony love;

She no longer loves the king, and no longer hears from God…

The king cannot calm her fears, does not want to wipe her tears

He can’t save her and she hates him for he no more gives her joy

She’s exhausted in her rest and king’s words no longer work…”
