Oscar’s Wife


Carried a knife but that is not true

As she was a gentle creature

Much loved in the village

But she did carry a knife in a leather sheaf

Even when wearing her summer frocks

Some thought that she had

Suffered a misfortune

And that she was scared

Of something that only

She could see clearly

Yet when I asked her if I might help

All she would say to me was

Anais Anias Anias

My name is Anias
