Analysis of Slain
When the universe sighs
and draws its last breath
and the sound that is silence
manifests
when conqueror and conquered
walk in lockstep
will your pulse a beat diverge
as one who claims her highest worth
not as one who slew the rest
but the shining warrior
who vanquished self
who laid together
lamb and wolf
