In the Raven's Shadow - Sept. 19, 2022

who doesn’t put an eye

on the lone raven

perched on the park bench

and look back

as they pass?


rumors of delinquency

a bad reputation

pickers of roadkill trash cans

thieves bullies murderers

even among their own kind


some will run at it

yell wave it away

a warning if the

witch-eyes glance back

as it’s leaving


it remembers injustice

with the patience

of a shadow


carefully in the

middle of the day


much less restrained

deep into the night
