The pictures like the one above that Anna Marie Tendler is producing on her Instagram account are just heart wrenching. But, also, for me, at least, inspiring. I can’t sleep at the moment, so here’s another bit of would-be music inspired by one of her grief photos caused by her divorce.
anne boleyn
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform
off with her head
they said and then she was dead
but to any woman who loves too much
and finds herself on the block
the name Anne Boleyn resonates
as the tears become a necklace
whatever you do
whatever you say
just don’t call me
Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn
women know what they know
Anne Boleyn did not know her place
and she paid a heavy price
her mind was in the right place
but her man’s hands were somewhere else
other than her body late at night
someone else got that right
much to Anne Bolyen’s fright
you could say I’m the same
nothing new, is under the sun
we thought we had something forever
it was just a fever
so whatever you do
don’t call me
Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn
