D train

foreboding words

8:27 a.m.--



'The crow is coming'

scrawled in purple permanent

marker on mirrored metal

has me reflecting--



	flashes of Hitchcock,

	brings brooding

	birds to mind



such flavored pictures, poetical

exact detailed tapestry

of edits and perfections

like confectionaries



	someone taps, impatient

	their nail against steel

	in light fevered taps



I snap from the scene

upstairs

into my own again

and hungry 



the crow soars from my mind

I ascend into the stairwell 

looking up to the trees, 

not quite sure why
