THE RAVEN
The dark bird caws an aching creak, jarring
high in the branches of my twisted hazel

Light drips thickly - like warm blood or hot metal -
from the anvil angles of its beak, cuts short
breeze, divides still water, and settles
deep in the silence of the little pond beneath

It is not the tawdry light of the mind
where still limbs, still torso, still breath pull close -
become justified - where truth is vulnerable to age

Nor is it the light of secret gardens, of mists
unsettling and godless clarity eclipsing everything

An illusive bat mapping shady new worlds
by shriek and wail.  The old owl's careful murders
These fears swoop in the cool of night

But this raven comes with the light.  Hopping and strutting
Gently tip tap tapping.  Its black glint encumbering
ornamental cherry trees, beach and oaks with ease

And it brings the white-hot light of fear.  The clarity of danger
The fat weight of doubt that lingers near
The crack in peace.  The spark of both death and change

Lyrics:

A crooked moon has risen from your heart
Grinning through a midnight so unkind
I drag my heels down this sadly silent hill
alone to leave this crying soul behind

Gonna find me a graveyard
Gonna bury my head and rest 
‘neath a weathered tombstone unnamed
May the hell you gave me
limp back to your door
A huge hungry demon enraged

Do you hear me laughing, girl?
Laughing as I beg for death
Yeah, I know you’re moaning, girl
I can smell your sad harlot breath

Oh, soon you’ll miss me
Oh, soon you’ll miss me,
but I’ll be bones in the ground
