The Accomplice
The sparrow and the
nightingale
- I am their ally.
Feather-friend to the crow &
- I am their ally.
Feather-friend to the crow &
the raven, to all
carrion-feasters of the wing -
Kin to the owl bearing blessed night
on the tide of its wings -
I am brother to the songbird,
to the screech and sonar-silence of gloaming,
to the holy rite of kill and consumption,
to the mournful cry & low piping air of the loon.
(In short)
I am the accomplice of all-hallowed night,
Though the cock's crowing does not set me to flight.
