She breathes fire That tastes of the cremation Of her forefathers Their ashes grit In her eyes, spit In her hands She marches Atop marshland Swallowing graves Of their mothers And lovers Her thick, leather skin Wicked and weathered Wields weapons Of resurrection With commanding force She breathes life Into desolate plains She breathes fire And they rise Again
