She looks into his eyes and sees a storm.

He senses it,
the little raven learning to fly.
He walks.

He watches her,
the crow weeps her sins.

He speaks to her,
her voice is like that of a siren,
luring him in to have the waves devour him.

He touches her,
it's not enough.

We

The two of them,
in a single two letter word,
though by crows,
satisfaction fills him.

He learns to breathe again around her,
to smile,
to laugh,
to be weak,
to have a name.

He'll wait as long as it takes,
even if he hates it.

She'll come with him to his destination,
more accurately a visitation.

And one day,
perhaps...

...

She looks into his eyes and sees a storm,

The storm gazes back.
