What word captures a crow’s sound?
Somewhere between angry and melancholy
Tells us of the Crows disposition …supposedly.
What of the research that claims
This clever bird is armed with an alarm system?
“Don’t go near that …,” it snaps at his off-springs.
There is yet another possibility;
This creature that can resolve a 9-step puzzle
In order to reach nourishment,
May know all life is descending
Into a black whirlpool
From which no sound or sight will emerge.
Like Cassandra, Crows keep warning and complaining
To an audience that would rather they be quiet.
