gusting Spring winds:
can the hunkered crow
take to flight?

gusting Spring winds:
can the hunkered crow
take to flight?

on a barren branch
a raven has perched —-
autumn dusk

crow on a post,
on rocky desolate ground;
waves lap ashore.

a crow alights
on a slender, bare branch,
riding the bounce.

a black crow,
oily & otherworldly,
alights on a rock.

I don’t mind one crow,
on a rail or curb,
by its lonesome.
Nor am I troubled by
a large number of the birds.
(The group designation “murder,”
notwithstanding.)
But where two or three
are gathered, facing
each other…
That’s when I get the
heebie-jeebies.
