blackbird claw, raven wing
|
under the red sunlight
|
long clothesline, two shirt sleeves
|
waving as we go by
|
|
hundred years, hundred more
|
someday we may see a
|
woman king, wristwatch time
|
slowing as she goes to sleep
|
|
black horse fly, lemonade
|
jar on the red ant hill
|
garden worm, cigarette
|
ash on the window sill
|
|
hundred years, hundred more
|
someday we may see a
|
woman king, sword in hand
|
swing at some evil and bleed
|
|
black hoof mare, broken leg
|
eye on the shot gun shell
|
age old dog, hornet nest
|
built in the big church bell
|
|
hundred years, hundred more
|
someday we may see a
|
woman king, bloodshot eye
|
thumb down and starting to weep
|
