The Crow's Baneful Moon

Two crows spoke indigo black One to the other at the graveside bleak Sharing the begotten woe as they did clack Perched over the fading epitaph did speak In the sorrowful caws of the death knell toll Sharing the begotten woe Two crows did sing a weary dark song Their saturnine shadows cast dire with dread Mocking deathly hallows in their grim throng Querulous by the gravestones of death's head Screeching each souls name under the baneful moon Ghastly cawing their clamorous tune October 2, 2019 Rewritten from "The Crow's Lament" May 23, 2020
