longing
for brighter days
I take the longer road
toward home
a crow speaks to me

with crow feathers
draped in ancient doubts
she rises up
into clouds of certainty
bathed in golden light

bus stop twilight ...
I inhale every puff
of a stranger's cigarette,
the favorite brand
of my deceased father

at dawn
a crow settles
on my porch
waiting in vain
for the sun

raven & crow
β¦
nor omen nor divine
the raven croaks, the crow caws
listen to their call ~
it's nature's voice, nature's cry
neither song nor lullaby

Two crows chose a branch
Built a nest in no time
I see every day comings and goings
To the forbidden place where
The couple raises children

we met in the alley
peanuts for
shiny things

Her Victorian locket opens
She scribes with a crow quill
To her lover lost to tuberculosis
Crimson lips touches his photo
She signs letters with her blood

a warbling thrush
the cock-a-doodle-doo
of a rooster
my neighbour crowing
over his new lawn

No river in England is now certified as safe for swimmers. England's rivers are among the most polluted in Europe. This is not an accident of neglect. It is the logical outcome of removing the legal architecture that enforced standards, by design, to clear the path for private governance.
