Where All The Crayfish Sing

Where all the crayfish sing
Lives a little creature,
Abandoned far too soon.
Mother, brothers, sisters
Vanished under the moon.
Where all the crayfish sing
A girl they named Kia,
Ten years old in the marsh
Fights to survive alone.
Her days are lonely and harsh.
Where all the crayfish sing
They call her Marsh Maiden.
A boy shows her to read
So, starts a love Story.
He leaves and her words bleed.
Where all the crayfish sing
They judge her for murder.
She spends months in prison,
Not guilty! Love returns.
Ashes cannot aid suspicion.
