Our only surviving child
Female
And vile
Left to starve
Because of a prettier face
He loved me, always
Eternally
And passionately
Rejected the Pope
And three years later
Our only surviving child
Female
And unwanted
My head fell
Because of our daughter
I now lay on my deathbed
A little boy brought into the world
After much suffering
I cannot help but think
Does he love me
Because of our son?

.Isis
In the sands of silence, the living ones split, endlessly.
They're waterborne, broken and torn, limbs flooding forth
until the river runs red again. A tug of blood in the undertow
as the fevered arms and distress alarms rise from below,
grasping for their sisters, their wives, their lives -
for the daughter of the overarching skies.
Caught in the water, Isis knows the cries of the orphan,
the widow spider. She can reconstruct the faces of the dead
as they suck and well round her feet like collapsible gods.
It is said that when the rains come, she sweeps the grain
to the brute mouths of the deepworld, the bowels

The Siren - 7
The thing sat still and silent on Sandie's couch, swathed in the oversized black shirt and faded jeans of some long-ago boyfriend. Its white hands rested, motionless, on Its denim-clad thighs while Its expressionless eyes stared through the wall into nothing. It had not moved in more than half an hour, not even to breathe – which only made sense, Sandie thought, since It had been dead and rotting the last time she had seen It.

Neat short concept - I feel like there should be more here for our new queen. What was it like when she was told she had to do this? Is she a good ruler or is she bumbling into this? Who is around her that she's doing her own executions that she has no idea why?
There should probably be more detail and background. The picture into her head should give hints to her personality and understanding thus far. She was clearly alive before this, and obviously had a right to the throne - it makes sense she'd not be ignorant of what's going on in general. Perhaps she's being handled by advisors?
