The Grove and the Throne of the Undertaker.A Poem by Alexandra MonroeI took a walk into the undertaker's grove. I saw the trees he cast his shadow upon, a dark shadow they were forced to don. Ahead sat his unearthly throne. It was a chair with arms of blackened wood, a back of stone, and a seat of bone to complete the throne. They said it was an affront to any god that stood. I sat in the throne, and ruled as a false queen. And I knew then, my final escape would be clean. I lept off the bridge's parapet, my sins atoned. I was no queen, but I reigned upon the undertaker's throne.
