The Crow
He is the summation of all other people like him before him. These bodies expire but spurt out more of themselves just before. Two ways to get it,
Be born
Consume, ladylike, the entrails
And then, perched there, great being of flight, ground waddler, watches
Yes, and gleans
And continues the grudge all its own
“A murder!”
These English
-words-
are so dramatic
