13 Crows~

In the dead of night
I heard their flight
just above my head

13 Crows
landed in a row
gathering around the dead

Stainless drips
trick of the night
the color of blood red

13 crows
this night exposed
what they wanted fed

A shrilling call
beaks and eye balls
as 13 crows fled

A hallow eve
instructing my deed
what 13 crows had said

Calling this night
the black birds flight
13 crows in my head

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Happy Halloween" 2005
