Casually Tied

Unfamiliar Crow-Couple are

In the purple tipped birch

Cloud heights; challenging

The black and white order.

All singing ceases,

The Passing Traffic

From the frozen-gutter pulpit

Outside the chase-road Church

Of the Old Blow-Down Birch

The animated, grizzled-curate crow

Rants and roars at all

The passing traffic,

Carrying Messages.

Scenery’s never been so vivid.

But rain is rain;

Diagonal rods,

The spaces between,

Carrying messages
