Queen of Persia!
(After answering the call for
young virgins

Though it may have turned out
she was somewhere between
forty and eighty, ladies

it is never too late for you
to do what you want to do.)
The King’s second wife.

Niece or, or first cousin, or
colloquially, adopted daughter
of Mordechai the just.

Descendant of King Saul so
didn’t get the crown solely
based on her virginity.

Had a party.
Then had another one
which was secretly an intervention.

Pointed the finger at the bad guy
which changed everything for us.

Some say she was Eve come again.
Esther, our caretaker.
Our morning star.
