The saline in your teeth bestowed us life Your canopy of wisdom billows like death billows the soul Your memory grasped into our veins like Wysteria Dropping one by one, wilting Into the eyes of the crows that ate the eyes of your dying children you engraved your name so that every child that dies Remembers Unto the sea of wheat we spew our rotten teeth so that they may blossom And the seeds shall be fed to our wavering kind So you will be remembered Behold! Lotuses of swamps long been forgotten Blooms that may only blossom within blooms Whom that dwell in the mud of the ancients Yet unstained In our being, a black pearl that grows from the fields of Israel So that we, lotus lover Are worshiped, venerated and will be remembered

The Daughters of Ahab
The saline in your teeth bestowed us life Your canopy of wisdom billows like death billows the soul Your memory grasped into our veins like Wysteria Dropping one by one, wilting Into the eyes of the crows that ate the eyes of your dying children you engraved your name so that every child that dies Remembers Unto the sea of wheat we spew our rotten teeth so that they may blossom And the seeds shall be fed to our wavering kind So you will be remembered Behold! Lotuses of swamps long been forgotten Blooms that may only blossom within blooms Whom that dwell in the mud of the ancients Yet unstained In our being, a black pearl that grows from the fields of Israel So that we, lotus lover Are worshiped, venerated and will be remembered
