More than winged midnight, or
a shadow that moves at noon,
I know this crow must come from
another place, the other side.

It nests far too near me and
it speaks more than it caws, and
what it cannot know I hear,
numinous sense of vertigo.

One sees more floor from the heights,
the ends of meaning’s axis
have something each in common,
and I am after all in love.

About two weeks ago pair of crows nested in my backyard and I have seen them often from quite up close ever since.
