	Lyrics she walks for forty days a speck of green in a blue-white haze she's charmed, but still goes armed so the bands of thieves let her pass unharmed she squints up at the sun it beats her eyes like a goatskin drum her pack slips from her back she rests and sings, and her oud sings back the cries of desert birds in her flatted fifths and minor thirds reflect, and pay respect to the dead, she offers up her words the ground is cracked and hot the roots of trees twist into knots the dry mud is red like blood that spilled so freely where the young men fought she knows they fought for her they called her queen, the caliph’s daughter, but with her men dead, this young one fled she had no way to stop their slaughter
