woman king

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
