lands imagined by eye and ear

The lore is for sons
Stricken young who fight on
For daughters born burning
Love’s fire borne strong
For fathers and brothers
In arms though long gone
For mothers and sisters
Who bear every wrong

And wash the dirt
The hurt to heal
The souls of holes
We bare to feel
Whole and human
Born clean
Redone
