The Happening

The happening 

On the balcony sat a raven it had yellow eyes
It crewed with delight.

Ill in bed the flue, a stream of transpiration
turned into a raging river.

Transported me to the sea which was cooling
and calm lowered the fever.

The raven had fallen to its death into the canyon 
of high rise flats.

A man picked it up his dinner of the day saved
he wore a feather on his hat.
