Raven's Return

RAVEN RETURNS



                                  Raven wraps me  in sleek black

                                  Swoops me skyborne on power's wings

                                  Glides through winter cloud-made tracks

                                  Head a-cock while snow-moon  sings--

                                  Taunts the choppy arctic sea

                                  Wing sweep breaks through weeping mist 

                                  Greets the dawn through barren trees--

                                  Fog still hides shapeshifter's kiss.

"but i am only dreaming here, dem black birds can be funny queer, perhaps perchance a subtle kiss, before the thought escapes the bliss, cos passion is sincere ...Don"
