CROWS --by guest author Michael Lee Johnson


 



Tired of hunger tired

of emptiness

late February winter snow

crow claws locked in

on my condo balcony

steel railings.

Their desperate eyes

focus in on my green eye

sockets

their search begins,

I go to bed, no ruffled feathers showing

their imaginary dreams of green

black wings fly flapping

the hunt, scavengers, over barren fields

shadows in the way

now late August

summer sun

bright yellow

turning orange

hard corn.
