Ravens


Words, black on a white page.
 small words, large words, long, short, capitals.
lower case letters piling up on white page.
What are they spelling out, a spiral, a line.
Thoughts, paralyzing those who read them.
Like crows they travel together, black against the light sky.
Like ravens they are not silent. Caw, and knock, chork, caw.
Like crows, up and down on a line....caw, caw, knock, chork.
Words, cutting, smoothing, biting, stabbing, glossing.
Words, sometimes truthful, sometimes............. not.
Time. to. take. tommy. to. town. tuesday. thursday. today.
Ravens glide swiftly across the day sky, in pairs, alone,
They fly jump from pine tree to fir tree, caw, caw, knock, Chork.
