Find the Crow

it was made of stone, 

of stone, stone, marble


a crack, veins like solemn hands sought a name written in the middle


my head hurts, it hurts,

i grab the soil and scratch the earth.


nocturnal consciousness bodes thoughts from the hooting crow.


my knees touch the earth and i scream for my sleep-found-hearth.


because when i wake up it is gone, gone, 

i am still not sure if it ever was,


because when i sleep, when i sleep,

i hear the entire bloodline talk and toast to drink, my bedsheets keep me warm.
