She finds it odd
That the two of them
[A crow and a ghost]
Cast no shadow

*[And he finds it hysterical
That he can creep up on her
And steal her away in the dark of morning]

They say there is a King
[A King of all Things]
With a crown made of bones
and a Crow for a Queen

She is a haunted creature,
with stained fingers
and coal eyes
Skin wrapped around bones
and chilly veins.

"Black Crow"
her ghost taunts her,
his lips stained pomegranate,
teeth glittering
and mind spiraling
