fiery eyes
gaze of a child
on the old witch’s house on fire

standing like a tree
the old got on her knees
prayed to the sun god

a stone carved
worshipped by men
she calls him god

deaf as they are
blind as they are
her ignorance
slaughtered her house

the gods don't have ears
they will never come
her house will turn to ash

rain thy fire! rain thy fire!
they said
the fire gnawed the house
crushed my heart

left nothing but a sad tale
for the coming age
a star dusts that reminds
partiality in the house

my heart bleeds
a river
of tears
and aches
