Smoke Rising
Brown Bird

smoke rising up from the gate where they got her

to take her away from the face of her father

bitter the break in the battles raging

to imitate all the saddle taken

ain’t no trace of the place where they brought her


true to tell tale your throat’s on fire

bones held kept with baling wire

somewhere you were baiting the buyer


desecrating the names of the gods of their fathers

elevating the shame and profaning the water

gravity guides every action downwards


averting their eyes like a mindless coward

innocents in the place of their power


true to tell tale your throat’s on fire

bones held kept with baling wire

somewhere you were baiting the buyer


smoke rising up from the gate where they got her

to take her away from the face of her father

bearing no trace of the place where they brought her
