Sowing salt ...



I heard their voices -

Their wild wounded music -


The tall women with the heads of leopards -

The men on horseback -


They sang of their terrible histories -

The salt sown in their beautiful gardens -


The thieves who had chained them, weeping, naked, neck to neck - 

The heated iron marking their flawless skin -
