Song of tears
ReplyDeleteA languid stream listening, runs from ancient dawn,
From mountain down to sandbanks spun
On lonely steps, on middens gone
And faded off through time.
Is she still there that lovely girl who cried the way I did?
A thousand times a thousand years
In sea’s songs both we hid?
On lonely beach her silent tears they mingle in with mine
Domestic screams domestic wounds
Ancient headlands know men’s crime
Stephanie Jarrett, 2001
