Dolls

Василий Рубин
Sweet found sharing tawny dolls
From the hands of merchants
Hands in steel cuffs off the shore
Gone to civilisation

Pots of gold and dirty glass
Filled with blood and piss
Beneath the raised free country flag
Hope you didn't miss

Sweet little children singing songs
In the night of Christmas
Under the tree they'll find these dolls
For years kids will play with them
