The Other Side of the Tower

No one knows

Where the other crow goes

When it's on the other side of the tower.


Is it gone,

Flown away,

Free?


Or is it stuck there,

Just like you and me?

In a line with the other crows

Waiting for a chance

To fly over the next tower

And try again.


Maybe it isn't lonely.

Maybe it's just waiting for a friend

Who went to get some food.

"She'll come back soon again".


That's what they all say

When the second crow leaves.

Maybe they've left me

To be free in the trees.


But we'll never truly know

What's on the other side of the tower.

We can only hope

That it's not some eternal lone hour.
