... an Elgin marble from a waking dream
Would it not be a marvel
to find your calling—your niche—
to be suffering
(emptily, on empty)
draped over
a marvellous throne
where everyone feels
envy, breathlessly
(superficially)?

Wonderful pairing of eloquent words with fascinating imagery. I'll be honest, at first I thought she just had terrible posture.
