RED and WHITEA Poem by Olive Belikov
Girl of red
Girl of white A girl whose heart Knew no right Through the woods Her feet did run Without a leash She knew all fun Cape of red Skin of white A wild girl The wolf of night Sweet in day With ivory smiles At night she ran She ran for miles The hunters watched The woods in dark To make her blood Leave its mark She was too quick Her feet too fast Her fur the color Of a grand ship mast Until the man The man of death Came to kill And take her breath And that he did With guns of hate And speed the girl Didn't compensate Girl of red Girl of white A girl whose eyes Were the only light Until the white Turned into red The girl, the wolf Now rests in bed
