by Joshua Wait
Crows and crows and always crows
transecting telephone wires, an envelope opening,
two or three, then forty spinning, spinning,
spinning beads about a thread, feckless
dancing, sweeping pantomime about an ashy
acid sky, notes frozen, frozen in a line.
This poem was published in Edible Thistles. An illustrated version of the poem was distributed at the book launch.
