Ravens Cackle

I look up to find him looking at me with his coal black eyes, hi blue/black plumage shimmering in the morning light, is he calling my number for me? Is he calling his maker to come reap me? Will he perch upon a branch and watch them dig a hole for me? Will he sit upon my head stone and sing his sweet melody for me? And will he wing me to heavens gate?

This is a great piece,Jessica, for it is very descriptive and expressive. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
