bare bones&drafting// watchers

the crows are gathering
over your house 

they lingered over our bed in utah 
in the trees that lined the narrow part of the virgin
they watched us cross texas without stopping
i felt one above my head at night in the bayou,
invisible against the dark


there's a light about spring rain
heavy in the fall, everything just hanging on
my heart
the leaves on the trees
colors burn as they fade and crackle

the door opens and closes
