Rest

The crow is a creature of many mysteries.

For instance he has two hearts,

one inert inside the other.

He brings darkness with him, sure,

but also glittering things.

In the sun, he looks like a crumb

from the deepest cave, and if the clouds sink low,

his shiny black head is a star, brighter and brighter.

Sleep never comes to this creature.

He closes his disc eyes and yearns for rest.

Seasons spin in their sockets,

winter falls off its shelf with a whoop,

the mouse of the field goes home.

And yet, all down the road,

dutiful fenceposts yawn a little,

strangely restless in their shallow beds.
