The Mother of Saul


Because I was a virgin girl of ten
The men from across the River Jordan
Spared me and my friends. The rest, murdered --
My mother, father and all my brothers.
We were taken to Gibeah; the blood
Of murdered women whispered up to us
From the ground. We were given to soldiers
Who were twenty and thirty years older
Than us. And we became wives and mothers.
No one remembers me, the wife of Kish.
No one remembers me, mother of Saul.
I am a virgin of Jabesh-Gilead.
On the day I died they hung my grandsons
And great-grandsons, little boys though they were,
In that wretched city I was taken to.
We girls, ever caught up in the fury
of the foolish vows made by foolish men.
