Crow Is Fictitious

crow is fictitious, rounding
mans outer edges hopping waiting

watching life’s disappointments spill
over the masses faces in frowns

watching men skim pebbles cross their
muddy-clouded minds

the covering sky’s wrinkling blue
magnifies every stones falling short

while crow is fictitious he still waits, perches
in minds branches to move man away from earths gray patches

he circles in the blue swoops to slice form’s flesh
from unsuspecting men’s thoughts

and if man let crow all the way in to begin
his art crow will skin this man alive

peel this mans flesh and all away using only his beak
to mingle blood

only claw-picks to vibrate nerves and sting
this man’s air out his lungs

if crow finishes before said man is dead, evacuates few
enough cells in time, mans pleads and cries for death

will let crow know he’s done his job well
