Hour 14 – Sienna (text prompt)

The children of Sienna

Are each marked apart

From normal human children

With silver bands tattooed

Innocuous, wrapped around the toes.

 

The children of Sienna

Are taught in the finest schools

Alongside elites of the highest orders

Living lives of luxury while adding new bands

Year by year to mark their growth.

 

The children of Sienna

Have thicker bands for higher marks

In their high level courses

They’re kept secret from the masses

Once they graduate.

 

The children of Sienna

Are known to me because

I married one with 25 bands of silver

Going up his legs

And now our children are also

Children of Sienna
