In The Blackened Water, Widows Weep. {Triolet}

-In The Blackened Water, Widows Weep.-

In the blackened water, widows weep;
Enticed by lovers shattered lullabies,
Praying to God, their souls to keep.
In the blackened water, widows weep;
Crying - - kiss their eyes and lay them to sleep,
Where bullets were lost in their husbands eyes.
In the blackened water, widows weep;
Enticed by lovers shattered lullabies.
