A Gathering of Crows

It seemed a million jabbering crows And a black fragmenting of sky, The murder caws, the shadow grows A frantic pile upon the wide eye. They clustered trees and pile the lines Sizzling with power; evening came In a pandemonium of noise, our minds Dark curtains parted with flame. Yet we look, and look at burning night And did not understand the sight.
