CORVUS

Jack Galmitz

crowsays what he mustwhich is more than I can say

crow learned languagehe combined different soundshe was now a man

only spaceempty of lightknows crow

over a churcha flock of crows fliescackling

crow meditatessince he can't sit cross-leggedhe mindfully steps

crow brought us lighttaught us seamstryand how to build a house

when crow rocks back and forthhe is not prayingthough you may suppose

crow caws mightilyjust to let everyone knowhe's mythology

crow is believed to bethe ghost of a murdered manplease consider this

crow rode the railswrote songs of the peoplemillions listen now

keeping companywith the gods for so longcrow struts when he walks

crowforecasts the futurefollowing the stream

a ventriloquistcrow throws his voicefrom everything

on a precipicecrow looks at the horizonwhere he meets

crow doesn't gointo movie houseshe fears he's the dark

crowwaits on the peripheryof Custer's last stand

crow ate the ticketthe policeman handed himfor public nuisance

I showed four fourscrow showed a royal flushI grabbed his nuts

So God shows upand asks to see crowa gambling debt I'm told

crow got roughed upby alley catshe returned with friends

God looked at crowcrow looked backboth began to laugh

crowis given a citationfor being naked

crowruns a three card monte gamein pelham bay park

he has a bad repyet crowuses tools

striding beside meyou'd swear crowwas the landowner

I love McDonald'sfish fillet sandwichme and crow go

crow readThe Decline of the West& couldn't care less

crow flops downhis feet straight upas if he's been shot

crow is a dickwrapped in his shadowhe always blends in

crow cawedand the whole worldwas at war

you think I'm biasedmany of my friends are crowsI'll have you know

garden snowa crowbluing steel

to each funeralI send crow in my placehe's appropriately dressed

you can book themin Las Vegascrows

the crowripping shreds of entrailswhat was once

crow and Iended up in the E.Rsniffed too much glue

I held myself backcrow had a smirk on his faceafter winning in chess

for incitingthe occupy wall street movementcrow is footprinted

sent to prisoncrow sits on his bottomfrightened

crow can see the soulleave its bodyhe knows what he knows

when the train pulled incrow didn't board with mewe fought back our tears

I dreamt I foundcrow dead in the gardenI lost myself

crow remembers mehe doesn't caw when I passbeneath his tree

certainly a blackbox is the correct choicefor crows journey
