Before you judge me
One last time.
Before you send me
To my last moments of life
Before you announce
What is already clear
Listen to these words
I must make clear
Look at these hands.
Cold and shaken.
Look at these eyes.
Dim and without hope.
Look at these lips.
Dry and cracked.
Look at this woman
And tell me you believe
the lies that have been spoken
right under your gaze.
Before you judge me
a guilty woman.
Before you send me
out to the gallows
Before you announce
what could be the last thing I hear
Listen to the words
spoken in the wind
by all the dead men.
