...Black

by Tooni OneFeather 1994, 1998, 2000, 2002.


It claws through the vines of mad men's minds,
A moonless, empty night.
As dark as pitch the raven sits,
Preparing for its flight.
A dead man's eyes will tell no lies,
His grave will keep them shut.
As blind as bats and as cunning as cats,
Lost time & lines we cut...

...But,
What thoughts are these as widows grieve,
An endless, gaping crack.
A demon is calling his fatal last warning,
As day dreams fade to black...
