I am not your talisman
I am not a curse
The loot I carry
Weighs the same
In trousers or a skirt
Bring the powder keg on deck
The muskets shall be filled
Feed me to the hungry seas
As soon as I am killed
Amen.
I am not your talisman
I am not a curse
The loot I carry
Weighs the same
In trousers or a skirt
Bring the powder keg on deck
The muskets shall be filled
Feed me to the hungry seas
As soon as I am killed
Amen.
Wondrously poetic, and I adored these lines…..
“The loot I carry
Weighs the same
In trousers or a skirt”
Thank you, Ivor! Anne Bonny and Mary Read were the two main muses for this piece.
