Game of Thrones

In this story, she is fire-born:



knee-deep in the shuddering world.







In this story, she knows no fear,



for what is fractured is a near-bitten star,



a false-bearing tree,



or a dishonest wind.







In this story, fear is a house gone dry.



Fear is not being a woman.







I’m no ordinary woman, she says.



My dreams come true.







And she says and she is



and I say, yes, give me that.
