She views the world through
the multifaceted eye of the diamond.
For this gem, she broke the world.
She endured the touch of the Oracle,
his leprous fingers dabbling in her mind,
until she saw the alluring path of prophecy.
She robed her brothers in blood,
stripped away their future.
They will, forever, sing their stories
in a glorious paradise.
Her path was harder,
thrusting her weary dagger into the body
of the land, time upon time,
walking over her people's bones which
crushed to powder beneath her feet.
She will be written into the ages,
this glittering queen,
this completion of the black diamond's promise.
Lifting the stone to her mind,
she searches through so many images,
looking for the lost in its glass-eye shine.
