there would be a secret
and finally a melting
that would give voice
and direction
by late afternoon
the crows get impatient
the sky fills
with sound
but this is not about
the species
or
looking for excuses
a blue ridge
near the sun
is only
one perception
bare maple tops
dance
crow wings
a background
there are
no revelations
in any
of this
open the window
for any answer
you think
you're missing
