CLEO

It is a limiting power

seduction, manipulation

playing suitors against each other.

It is dangerous

this house of cards

she tries to build

But if she is careful

if she is delicate

hers can be a higher house

than any before.

The risks are high

the dangers huge

but how is that unlike any great game?

She will ride this bull

tame the beasts

make them carry her burdens

or die trying.

It is a testament to a queen

that she will even

make the attempt.
