woman king

Singer:iron & wine

blackbird claw

raven wing

under the red sunlight

long clothesline

two shirtsleeves

waving as we go by

hundred years

hundred more

someday we may see a

woman king

wristwatch time

slowing as she goes to sleep

black horse fly

lemonade

jar on the red ant hill

garden worm

cigarette

ash on the window sill

hundred years

hundred more

someday we may see a

woman king

sword in hand

swing at some evil and bleed

black hoof mare

broken leg

eye on the shotgun shell

age old dog

hornet nest

built in the big church bell

hundred years

hundred more

someday we may see a

woman king

bloodshot eye

thumb down and starting to weep
