Crow's Birth Song

I came singing Pushed through the water I came dumb Without a man on my side I drifted downward From the moon With every indication This city would be mine I came to under the mirrored water Blue-black wings shining Feather issuing streams of light I came in the Mother's toothed vagina My black eyes blessed with insight I came alone, with brave words For speeches And a riddle from the Unicorn To solve I came with a curse on my head And gifts to bestow on mankind I came with a song etched in stone I came valiant I came meek Crawling backward like a crab In the sea foam I came heart broken Without weeping Clothed in rags And precious stone
