I am the raven
Awaiting the rodent to take its last breath
masked into darkness
Sidled into the shadows.
under the great gleaming golden disk
perched on a branch rotted to its roots
eyeing the future
ragged heap of sticky sweets.
*Death minds its pocket watch
enjoying the rhythmetic tick
preserving the static balance
ridding the rind of its fruit*
eyeing the sky
slips away
silence
easy is the end
delicious.
