The minerals we leech from the place we’re born.
Calcium hooves and oiled lungs,
The blows we bore like a battering drum.
A warm breeze brings the killer bees hum.
Barbed wire creaks neath the white sun.
Tell me you’re sorry for where I’m from.
But I may become
the teeth and the tongue
of your son’s son’s son.
