Side by side

 A crow

Is nesting in my chest

It is calling to me

Every morning

Rising with its mighty black wings

Spreading softly across my heart


At dusk

It gathers the remnants of my day

Strands of hair

Dry leaves

Dustballs and flakes of skin

Unfinished thoughts

And forgotten memories


To build its nest

A bed for my sorrow and my joy

To sleep side by side
