A Strange Crow

I waited at the window for my favorite crow today I lingered in the silence and mourned your song, sweet and unsang it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait I have always loved a strange crow interminable distance and the passage of time conspire in pain that is faultless, no intention unkind I wonder what your life is like and who and how you are lamenting endless days until you’re not so very far and in the summer you fly away every winter, I’m glad you stay I can’t resent the departure, don’t begrudge you the absence I am lonely - lonely all the same it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away it flew away and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait and I will wait I have always loved a strange crow interminable distance and the passage of time conspire in pain that is faultless, no intention unkind I wonder what your life is like and who and how you are lamenting endless days until you’re not so very far all this to say I miss you, and I miss you all the time and if there is someone to blame the blame is surely mine always the one to run away, always the one to hide I always keep my distance and it keeps me up at night

haunted world of mirrors is maximalist gothic cybergrind, a recurring dream of old ghosts in new lives.
