Catherine of ArragonMature
Wife of my brother,
like a lamb to the slaughter,
I watched her.
He died, she greaved.
I offered, she took.
The marrige in church.
I took her, she moaned.
No pain, no gain.
A child, a girl.
Then born still, born still,
I cast my eyes
and found relief.
And left the bag to rot.
