“Crows” by T. Crunk (an excerpt)

Biblia Pauperum1. Encomium

Great bird of iron
born of crucible and anvil

first creation
of the forges of Tubalcain

your feathers
are strokes of black lightning

your head a fierce coal
struck from the netherside

of the sun your claws
have clutched the life

from Night’s throat
your names multiply

like seeds of darkness—
Magus Chaldean

gravebird hellwing
almsthief

—ravenous
you devour the earth

grain by grain
your piked tongue

sipped the death-
burnt waters

when you alone
strode

the roofbeam of the ark
gloating

over a world
gone down to anguish

and for this
your voice is rust now

is sand and thorn
your great wisdom

nothing now
but the outraged croakings

of a feeble
secondhand Pharaoh

2. Proverb

One crow sorrow
two crows mirth

three crows death
four crows birth

five crows poor
six crows rich

seven crows curse
eight crows wish

    Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established
    blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m
    not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
    I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start.
    Do you have any tips or suggestions? Many thanks
