Anastasia's Apparition

Katie Odell

Translucent white skin
A specter herein
Emanates a woebegone chill
She whispers a story
Of beauty and glory
Before the vile, cold-blooded kill
She tells of her anguished brother
Three sisters, her father and mother
For their safety, they gave up the throne
She drifts through the room
As she speaks of the doom
That she never deserved to have known
