Caw, Caw Crow

Caw, Caw Crow

A Poem by Nisa West
"

for my Crow family

"

weaving & cackling

ostracized

descendant of Egypt

you traded

wagons for steel
where you picked

violins, earth

& bones

buried in soil

there remains:
memories & song
des corbeaux

recorded in stone

you rose roses

shape shifted

stole

fire

take thrones!
