imitation of crow (Kafka)

each day i revel

in scavengry;

finding revelation in

anything that glistens

& glosses

 

you can have

the intangible or the

tangible you can’t

break the wishbone larger

than its parts

 

chimerism i’ve found

is much the same:

crow eyes & turtleshell

nest on my back

amalgam is the title

that’s been given

 

here i am, patchwork–

or something worse
