Description
Song for an Unnamed Biblical woman
(The Pen That Forgot)

"You lived like the rest
raised a king on your breast
a mother a lover
a vagabond

Yet steadfast in faith
among the crying of wraiths
a duty bereft
of all dignity

So the kings went to war
their stories sung afar
at home you quietly swept dust
from the marriage bed

For the few that believe
there were hearts that conceived
a most excellent tree
to hang you from

So the mob came to call
pressed your back to the wall
took thigh and took foot
and night buried you

Left torn by the door
your warm blood on the floor
you called out for your man
who'd forsaken you

Soon time would erase
any hint of your trace
no spoon and no bell
and no memory

Was it a fate for your lot
or a pen that forgot
or a bigger truth that should trump
your identity?

But the Light is a song
that outshines every wrong
we sing we repent
and remember you"
