I may as well have no will.
It is cruel of God to give women volition,
for our entire lives we strangle it,
choke it back,
wish it to forget everything it wants to say.
God should have muted us,
made us pretty dolls with painted mouths
that never open,
wrapped in velvet and silk,
for I will die of blood loss
from biting my tongue
against this need to express want.
God should have smothered our desire,
for I cannot murder it with my own hands.
Let me return to Hever, to my bastard children,
so we can walk through gardens
of foxgloves, honeysuckle,
and ride our horses
with no destinations.
Let me lead my quiet life in Rochford
with my third attempt at love,
away from my brother the sodomite,
my uncle Lucifer, and my sister
whose only future is the scaffold.

Literature
Wives of Henry VIII
Woman of faith
The dutiful wife
Who still loved the man
Though thrown from his life
Woman of passion
His child you bore
But he'd not got a son
So you died as a whore
Woman of silence
Who bore him his son
But never recovered
Your life was soon done
Woman of rejection
With portrait so fair
Cast off when he saw you
And you didn't compare
Woman of youth
So wild and strong-willed
So quickly he loved you
So quickly he killed
Woman of courage
A long life you led
A nice husband you got
Once old Henry was dead

Anne Boleyn
The clink of chain invades my ears,
For I may be a prisoner,
Yet I shall keep my noble stance,
For I am not a commoner.
With filthy cries, they throw their food,
I wonder why they need complain,
That they are hungry everyday
When they gladly cast away.
Disgust embroils in my skin,
I am the Queen, forever be,
This festered boil of lowly streets,
Will be the last sight I shall see.
For I was born with malformed hand,
And with my beauty captured King,
So obviously I am Witch!
And I deserve the Guillotine.
You may despise me, peasant scum,
But think of future! Times to come!
My daughter will have claim to throne,
And my d

Recently became intoxicated by Mary Boleyn and her life, and her sisters, and her loves, and the excommunication of Henry VIII. Like. Drunk off of it in the beginning of the summer. And so of course, having finished Phillippa Gregory's 'The Other Boleyn Girl' back in May, and then seeing the movie, this as the onlyyyy thing I could think of to write about when we got a narrative poetry assignment.
Although, I do remember one from the perspective of David Bowie that. was. priceless. Kozol, my love.
This is draft, like, seven? Although not that differently from the original. Mainly, I took it from exclusive to understandable. This is published in From The Lion's Mouth our anthology myself and four other writers put together.
