Eulogy for a Crow
I've made up my mind
going to clean out the attic today
leaving nothing but cobwebs behind...
photos of people without names
car seats -chrome tables - baby rattle snakes
dented pots and pans
a guitar slouches in the corner without hands
dreaming of chords never woven
songs never molded from clay.
It's all just ex-rated anyways
it's all just excess anyway.
Things of past importance
scattered into cardboard boxes of chaos
of the never remembered and the long forgotten.
Then out to the curb everything must go
The garbage truck
offers garbled eulogy
to the crow of mourning.
