Little Woman Loveless Seems-
Little woman where you come from
With your almond eyes and your bronze skin
Silken and in your blackened hair
You curl up in a nesting square
Little woman what have you now
Where is your heart where are your vows
Do you sleep in danger of the nightmare that enables
Where is your king and why aren't you Queen
Little brown girl here in entrapment dazed glazed a human captive
In loveless prison in the failures of man
the one you have chosen little woman
You're extranged little woman where is your flame
Lo, as I call out your name your love is distained
