By R.M. Engelhardt
Dead crow in the middle of the road,
Black as death and dark
In the cold November air
When all the trees all sigh
“Remember”
Where there is a change in the scenery
Something different
Like God has suddenly left
The building
A winter without snow
Where a part of your soul
Has departed
From the light
