POEM: Crow in a Combative Stance

Posted on January 25, 2021 by B Gourley

metallic beak —
rough striations worn smooth
like rough iron, burnished

feet planted wide–
one fore & one back,
in a combative stance

head low —
beak pointed accusatorily,
swiveling to resettle the eye

then, with flapping wings,

it’s gone

Love this! It reminds me of bird watching and how just staring at the beauty of the birds in one moment then the next moment it’s gone. ❤
