queen’s reign abated

her anguished swarm’s fury hunts

in the bonfire’s flame

*

in the bonfire’s flame

frenzied life is fed and born

a limited drones’ race

*

a limited drones’ race

an heir appears slaying foes

by force of nature

*

by force of nature

with dead foes’ her steps to climb

the new queen is crowned
