And Then the Corvids Came
And Then The Corvids Came.
Sky filled with black swirling clouds filled with rain a falling,
thunder rolled and lightning flashed filling the heart with dread,
across the lifeless bodies rolled .
washing away the blood pittering on discarded drum,
filling sodden pipes drowning tunes and songs,
turning into a death lament.
The groans of wounded and dying men,
filled the evening air,
sunset over the horizon fell and suddenly over the hills,
came a squaking and a cawing of raucous sound,
turning sky to black as they swooped and danced,
and she stood upon the hill raising arms aloft,
she sang a strange and ancient song gown blowing in the wind,
pointed with her gnarled staff of ancient yew,
Twas then the Corvids came.
(c) Aindriu Provan Mac-an T-soar.
