CROWCOPHANY, draft

The Calling of the Crow in the morning


shattered within itself before it bleeds


a rattle with the memory of a seed


whose sound is the sound of awakening


empty against hollow  cacophony


steepening in the hollow its chamber


stored by rote memory in a quaver


Crow mimics the disembodied silence


through the conflict of soundless currents


and lives with its absence a sonic reed


The heart of a crow is a masterpiece.


As the voice that inherits a seedling


grows toward its heart as it penetrates

the drum of Crow’s heart is a labyrinth
