Wednesday’s Ravens

Cheese and bread and wine—
we dig into the hamper,
ravens eye the crumbs.
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
Women in aprons
pulverize the cobblestones—
ravens peck the dust.
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
Three ravens taunt me,
perched high in the cottonwood—
brittle summer song.

    a feeling of urban-ness….wish I was at that picnic……and the second was almost medieval – at least in my mind’s eye

    I got a sense of a village, rural, peaceful, but those ravens somehow haunt, the promise of something nasty under the pastoral idyll… Excellent piece.

    Ravens… so misunderstood. Like vultures too – beautiful in their own way.
