Scarlet child, carved of stone,
who left you out in the night?
Why is there frost in your veins,
ice in your breath, the moon
lost inside your darling chest?
Scarlet child, why did you swallow
all of the winter snow, freezing your sinner’s heart?
Ivory child, carved of rust,
who left you out in the evening?
Why is there iron in your veins,
steel on your breath, the clouds
lost inside your famine’s stomach?
Ivory child, why did you exhale
all of the world’s pain, loosing the rot inside your bones?
Ebony child, carved of marble,
who left you out in the dawn?
Why is there dew in your veins,
spring on your breath, the moon
lost inside your silver soul?
Ebony child, why did you drink
all of the summer’s rain, drowning your beautiful soul?
