“I am the living afterlife

An extant form of death

Decay and rot is my morning meal.


Black stars cut the sky

I fly higher than words

Only winds dare whisper where I go.


I follow your soldiers

Like the faces of innocents

Grief as a prochronism is near.


Count crows to gaze into fate 

But gaze into my inky stare

And see that existence is unplanned.


If my tongue could be freed

The secrets of the universe 

Would spill, like wine-dark tears, from my beak.”
