Abandonment of the Foreign Wives

~

*A blood promise

On the threshing floor

--a strand named Skull of Sidon.

 

The sunset passage

No longer a place for them,

The acceptance of absolute negation

Remedios the beauty.

 

Saint Fishermen churn in the waves

Crushing grapes from the estate,

Even the girl with the silver eyes,

Only then will their house be blessed.

 

Women uncharted,

But prisoned on watery shore,

Hum a silent prayer.

 

This is atonement day,

May grace be with them

In all the days ahead.*

~
