Murder of crows (Day 1116)


The sun   a murder 

of crows   icebound   watching 

a play & truth 

fanned out   golden   along 

the garden path   watching

what they said   of course

across the table vast 

blue skies whispered    a murder 

of crows   astonished clouds 

of culpability & snow   where 

once relentless heat 

transformed   fanned out 

like cards   like wings   coal black 

against the sky   frozen branches

snap & they wonder how
