Creature Caw

Alas, empty
came the cry
shall I not see
with both my eyes
drying, in strain
the waters
all gone
recessed blessings

sail on sail on

Wind did carry
took your breath
from four corners
that know
how you laughed
Your last gasp
the door nailed
shut
and pry
as you might
never ray
never sun
will light
place shadow
upon your
stoop

Caw caw
crow
wander run
to yonder battlefield
where eyes pecked
are thee only meal
some knight will find you
bless and keep you still

Till his heart bleeds out
and the moon rises full
