What does it know as it caws and laughs
Blocks my path looking back
Does it see my life and its slips and slacks
And witness indiscretion pull trains from tracks
Its eyes eclipsed like marbles rolled, belated
Its religion calculating, watching and the macabre
The bond we share is a silent groan of utterance
The bond we share is a stoic nuance of intolerance
We say our hellos silently
And know in common we have one thing
Neither of us has more to loose
Than the glide of our outstretched wings
