| Old Crow |
| by Chet Marlett |
| |
| Old Crow |
| Hung to the top of an old pine tree , |
| Glinting at the expanse of the world, |
| Eye-balling creation. |
| |
| Fragments of fire |
| Shot from his stare, |
| Scanning all of the earth - |
| Stripped bare by that momentary, frozen, clear insight |
| Darkly controlling the day. |
| |
| An ancient wind warned, "Take care!" |
| "Beware," |
| The awful power up there... |
| |
| When, suddenly, by choice, |
| That so black voice |
| Screamed joyously to the sun; |
| And quickly flew |
| Into the blue |
| Of our only known fear. |
| Suddenly all that might |
| Dissolved like Night |
| Into the dream-darkening sky. |
| |
| Deep within the pine, |
| Two woody eyes shine, |
| Without a sign of tension; |
| Their bark-shadow scars, |
| Flash out to the stars, |
| A look of comprehension. |
