lyrics

My Ancestors Speak

….Women like idols, adorned with diamonds,
swathed red in Turkish cloth,
in heavy folds of satin de Lyon.
But their bodies are weeping willows,
and their fingers, like dry flowers in their laps,
and in their veiled and faded eyes,
deadened desire.
[...]
All of them my tribe,
blood of my blood
and flame of my flame...
