Crow Woods
A hole A mushroom-cloud Grown into round woods I will be tall if you would You hide I would be the shadow Crow Crow Stop over the meadow Prowling magicians in black cloak Fan gusts of fallen leaves to float Sing them into bird song aloud Eyes Eyes Quietly watching owl Up to the treetop Squirrel rides its tail flying Covers its ears Refuses to hear Rustling footsteps crumbling Powdering into its ear Near gradually nearer A folktale bumps into me Shocks to an extreme Nightmare unwillingly awoke Under the trouser legs of Crow Woods
