Zywa The crow

The crow is invisible
black in the thin sky
rarefying, connecting
worlds, revealing

messages that I do not understand
until they penetrate me
sharp, deep and indelible
overwhelming, everything

changes and I don't remember
who I was before it turned black
and the beady eyes with their beak
started hacking on me

Zywa Leaking into new blood

All the waste is blowing
in the same direction
Over wet snow

hot and cutting grass
dry leaves
It gets dark

and light again
dark and light, the sky
wears the spores

frozen, burned
to invisible
the earth, the earth

fertilizes the powders:
leaking into new blood
between skin and bones

feeling flesh in the wind
over the wet, the hot
cutting and dry existence
