Winter, no colours,

migratory birds and leaves --


The crow caws louder.


Winter, geen kleuren,Winter, keine Zug-
trekvogels en ruisend blad --vögel, Blätter und Farben --

De kraai krast luider.Die Krähe krächzt laut.

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

The crow: greedily

she comes close, flying away --


at could be danger.


De kraai: begerigDie Krähe: gierig
komt hij dichtbij, wegvliegend --kommt sie näher, fliegt davon --

bij misschien gevaar.bei vielleicht Gefahr.

The crow builds a nest

in the axil of the tree --


very beak-handy.


De kraai bouwt een nestDie Krähen bauen
in de oksel van de boom --ein Nest in der Baumachsel --

zo snavel-handig.so Schnabel-praktisch.
