'Crow's Call'

'Crow's Call'

(for Keith who understands)


Like a small slyboot sentry,

(black and prince proud)

he stands guard
across
her footway

She breaths...

...in

through her mouth
and saturates
her inner most turmoil,
where
there
her heartland
begins to
ascend and fall...

...into the place
her dreams
CAN
hear a crow's call.

Wing and Claw

When I dream of you this way
You are so badly with another
I can still feel his breathing
Inside these sheets.
I understand the pressure of his smell
Better then my own.

This is the moment when I am totally receptive,
Calm and unthinking under a shivering duress.

I was born for these moments,
Control all excess,
As if I were a skillful bird
Of prey... taking all I want,
yet returning for for more,
Having emptied my crooked beak
And claws. It feels good
To expand so fully, talon and wing, in the path
Of the full and faithless moon.

crows

It is simple, really
when I walk across
the parking lot
to the store
hoping to find something
to cook for dinner
everyone hungry at home

and the crows come
sweeping in
to the tall tree in the
abandoned yard
where the feral cats
have lived for years

it is simple really
they show me...
just settle on a branch,
push a little against
the wings and beaks
find the stillness
in the evening as
the moon full
against the sky holds
this hope...

it is so simple
they say in their calling
just rustle into
the storytelling of crows
and listen until
you feel safe again.

A lone crow
sits on a dead branch
this autumn eve

On a withered branch,
A crow has stopped
Autumn's eve

They end their flight
one by one--
crows at dusk

perching on a mud wall
in the spring rain
a crow

A crow
has settled on a bare branch
Autumn evening

autumn passing
she hears the crow call
her name
