Bird Sematary

an autumn, dawn jackdaw -
a magpie is dreaming
of a feathered skeleton

the haunting, compassionate skeleton -
the magpie knew
of a roosting river

a wandering jay -
a tree will know of night -
dawn, icy

rook of the underworld
haunting crow of forest -
a dead nightmare

the morning rook -
the flock may dream of sadness -
dawn, dark

the black, mystical shapeshifter -
a witch may dream
of a misty skeleton

a gloomy, flying bird -
the sun will dream
of a spring chough

a roosting crow -
the warlock may dream of wind -
swooping, feathered
