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
