The Red Woman from Game of Thrones Misinterprets Her Visions
As we do, from time to time.
I heard a ghost howl
when my brother left me in this world
I saw him resurrected in my dreams.
The conversations were always the same
how it didn’t hurt to die.
A dream is a story we tell ourselves
when life is complicated and we don’t want
what is coming to us.
The Red Woman bolted Stannis into a coffin
though she believed it different
she saw what she saw
in the light.
