Poetry: Rivet, by Sarah Chaudhry

 a golden crown perched upon a sea of colored hair

that thrives upon the regality of drunken power

as it lives on a head that is no stranger to the uses and abuses of power

the power it symbolizes is a mere comparison to the power that comes from 

what such a crown could permit -

life and death at the hands many see as too feminine to unsheathe a sword and run wild

but such hands drive blades deeper than most, 

knowing when and where to extract blood that most wouldn’t dare to dream of
