CROW POEM (A/K/A "Eat Me Alive")
By Alexander Guinevere Kern
Copyright, A. Kern - 2001
I
Oh, I love eating crow,
The caw sticks in my craw,
And those oily-dark feathers
Wing-beating my ego!
Only spare me the eyes,
Glinting and delirious,
Its mocking reproaches.
Swallow slow, swallow slow.
II
Oh, I love eating crow.
I surely must. Thank you
Our Avian Father for my just
And daily crow. Crow soup,
Crow Salad, Crow a la mode,
Crow on the half-shell and
The ever delectable
T-bone Crow.
III
Bon Appetit, Bird Master
Black and visible Defeat.
I'm gaggin' you down,
While you're eating me alive. Eat,
Eat: Every loss, insult, failure,
Humiliated Love, abandoned hope,
You choked into your unholy throat
Grovels in my guts like a Slave.
IV
Affixed upon the high, craggy
Peak of my jagged agony,
You plant your nest, Corvus.
Out, out, out, and out
Of that twig and bramble church,
Your birth-wet offspring turn
And lurch, offering to feed me.
The Second Generation Crow.
V
Raucous caller, Claw-server,
I'm caged and eating bird food.
Rancid river mice and
Slug, snail, snake, car-kill.
Between Crater and Virgo
The pit and the unattainable Pride,
Your shrieks are aural stars,
I lick their brilliant shame, ergo --
VI
I will be damned by Crow.
I will glutton Crow.
I will absorb Crow.
I will emerge Crow.
I will screaming flock with Crow.
Beat air and consequence like Crow.
Deep Know Crow.
Kill stealth like Crow.
VII
And I will perch upon your beak,
And peck your tricky tongue.
I'll bite your heart, Bird, for your evil truth.
Make you eat my Crow.
