Dancing in Chains - Slave Woman Music Video
Rainbound Reverie
Sometimes, even when the rain pours over Shackleford, even when I’m shivering in my chains, I still find myself happy for three stolen minutes.
My master left me on the square with a towering slave beside me, and when the music started, something in me just… broke loose.
I’ve never been able to dance - not really - not with iron on my wrists and ankles all my life. But for a moment I moved as if the chains weren’t even there.My master ended that tiny flash of freedom quickly, of course…
…but at least I’ll keep that warmth in my memory for years.
