Manifesting
crane was flying low
intent and majestic
there, nestled between
his shoulder blades
sat his jolly passenger,
a crow just along for the ride
spirit manifests
in many ways…
Black Bird Guidance
Walking down a new street
a bit timid, still moving feet
When big blackbirds, crows I think
came diving at my head, crawking and squawking
putting up a stink
Fear came and roosted
in my screaming countenance
waving arms and hands around my head
doing the scaredy-cat dance
Until I turned around
and chose a different street instead
As the Crow Walks
Speculating on the crows
those that lately let me know
that coyote medicine exists
even in the bird world
(which is actually the same world)
++++++++++++++++++++++
Hop, hop, look quick, hop
the big black bird
plays chicken with my car
hop, hop, quick look, stop
Right in the middle of the road
++++++++++++++++++++++
Crow has a message for me
I think I’ll pay attention
‘cause here comes a bunch of them…
Daily Napkin for Tuesday, November 3, 2009
At dawning, the full moon
paling on her journey west..
Birds shake awake with
crisping leaves glowing
new light awakening..
Misunderstood crows
caw indiscriminately —
city roosters between
darkness and light
