flabbergasting the coward

I had walked over to the side of the house

to watch two crow making the most of their racket

-I applaud the erratic dedication

of all things persistent-

as

they crash in and out of the shrubbery

wings held high

thrashing the supposed barricade of their own revolt

this morning has brought a stilted defiance of season along with it

I am not licking my chops

if not for leftovers there would be perhaps nothing left for meal

it seems every creature is awaiting the egg

so that we may raid the nest

for now I tuck in my shirt

with no abounds but this verse instilled-
