he flies as a crow flies
straight to her
why?
tell her something

he promises her he will not do
all the things
he has already 
done to her

she flies as a crow flies
in a straight line straight to him
why? 
listen

time flies as a crow flies 
in a straight line
through you not around you
your life is only that with which
time
has its way with you

in the corner
of my eye
on the tracks 
will not fly
underneath
cannot feel
trapped beneath
unafraid

black streak
in the corner
wait until
it gets warmer
rain brain
do the honor 
swing blade 
underwater

dont eat the crow! dont eat the crow!

in the corner 
of my eye 
in the corner
was the sky 
in the corner
with the bird 
final caw 
went unheard

dont eat the crow! dont eat the crow!
