I very much like this one Brandon. You carry the idea along well. Here's my move:
Regicide
Nxe2
Legend said she slept
on twenty mattresses
for a thousand years,
her skin remaining
like confectioners' sugar.
One day she awoke
to a prince's kiss, or a pea.
She stood above the crowd
on a spiraling balcony
of creamy fondant.
This music box dancer
executed a precise pirouette,
and ignoring their knives
offered them more than bread.
