30 Poems in 30 Days - Sixteen: Secret Crow

I'm cheating a little by posting sixteen - eighteen early. I won't be near a computer the next three days, and I don't want to break my streak, so I'm posting these poems early. I will confess that I wrote them earlier, in some cases, years. But, I will be writing longhand while I'm away from my computers.

Secret Crow
Danna

One crow
at sunrise
circling like regret
or memory weaving
in and out of itself
reconfiguring
and disremembering
sluicing the silence of clouds

Nine crows
at midmorning
shadows flitting
wings dark secrets hovering
on the periphery
throaty caws croaking
we know, we know, we know

A solitary crow
at midafternoon
diving and pitching
black wings transformed white
a winged spirit homeward bound
