Henchman

Looks of terror,
silence of dread,
a flash of a knife,
the pulse of blood.
“It is done, my Queen.”
Conflicting nightmares:
screaming children
clutching their parents'
lifeless bodies;
your dying queen
stabbed unexpectedly
by your treacherous hand.
Hesitation forgotten
at light of dawn.
“Command, my Queen,
I will obey.”
