Carrion Crows

Yes, I have seen them perched on paling posts --

Brooding with evil eyes upon the road,

Their black wings hooded -- and they left those roosts

When I have hissed at them. Away they strode

clapping their wings in a man's stride away

Over the fields. and I have seen them feast

On swollen carrion in the broad eye of day,

Pestered by flies, and yet they never ceased.

But I have seen them emperors of the sky,

Balancing gracefully in the wind's drive

With their broad sails just shifting or again

Throwing huge shadows from the sun's eye

To brush so swiftly over the fields' plain,

And winnowing the air like beauty come alive.
