Following the Raven


When the taming began I quit hunting you      
because your dumb eyes couldn't see      
how mine had grown bigger      
or that one day  
I would feast on your children      
for eternity  
You sat grateful on the floating farm    
staring at the deep    
plucked from death by tsunami    
nature's refugee    
swallowing the bargain    
My shaman led you    
to immortality    
your role in ritual     
Noah's perfect first poem     
a genesis of propaganda  
Now as I hear your bones    
grind from the bottom of the well   
lost cousins still flee my scent in the woods 
with Gilgamesh no game     
the war not for oil
just God destroying truths
