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!
