VICTORIA

by Richard Schnap

She was tall and statuesque
With pale, perfect skin
A mannequin come to life

But burdened with the weight
Of raising two sons alone
After her husband’s sudden death

As she collected magazines
About the British royalty
And sought a new prince

Who never arrived
To fill the empty throne
In the lonely palace of her heart
