Portrait of a Crow

Dainty in dining

particular in choice

he plucks the lamb's eye

                                        thock

from its host.

Her bleats are...

irrelevant. The crow is a connoisseur.

Self-consciously theatrical,

he lifts up to a ring-barked tree

and delighting in this bone-white pulpit

espouses ecclesiastically

and cah

             cah

cah

he preaches crow morality

and cah

             cah

cah

he extols cruel crow mastery.
