The Raven

Still, sitting, perched upon a Awake, aware, sure of a Prepared, equipped, waiting for a- The deadly, lethal, fatal bird lay. Against the midnight sky, on the- Deep down inside the Up ahead relaxed rested the Just the wind nothing more.

A BRANCH, A SNAP, A FLUTTER, Nothing more if that

THE CRY THE PAIN THE FACT THAT Nothing will ever be the same

Something. Must. Change

Still, sitting, perched upon a Awake, aware, sure of a Prepared, equipped, waiting for a- The deadly, lethal, fatal bird lay.
