Thin Light

Thin Light

The trees relinquish all thoughts of color
Save the indistinct greys and whites
Grainy black and white photos
Memories of yesterdays
Now crusted with ice
Bone chimes in a cold November wind

A crooked black branch
Black lightning
Crack across a pewter sky
An ebon crow settles
Screeching foul crow thoughts
For nasty crow reasons

Below
I watch him
We all move towards death
I wonder if crows
ever eat crow

Quixotic as ever

William C. Burns, Jr.
Millennium Artist
