..............................
Looking at the crow on roof
now on top the wire
wet soaked in January heavy rain,
heavy traffic at crossroad
soaked with desire
in a cottage by an Ireland lake.
Three crows together
in the thunderous rain,
a cat's wide head, swaying,
soaking in rainfall,
in a cottage by a lake in Ireland.
Two crows, one picking its feet,
the other eating something big.
One crow in the integration of cries
by a lake in Ireland in a cottage in the rain,
by a lake, in a loch
in a moment locked up,
mindless, faceless, bottomed out
without motion, speed or sound
in the bottom of the lake of
grief and dreams splintered
by the rising sun.
