May the golden swirls be warnings for any would-be pirate who crosses your path
A shadowed brim hides the pain and anger of a shadowy past
Every trinket from a quarry who did not come quietly
Also handy for breaking a tooth or two
Each bead a symbol of life lost and a black debt repaid
They took your eye.
Now take their lives.
Your knife and pistol need to be within reach at all times
A determined stride for most despicable prey
The way it catches the light... It will be the last glint your enemies see.
