Moved from a shack to a barn

I started this
Thinking I might have something to say

And maybe I do

But once again
Realize I don't quite know how

Or how, to my liking

I find the inutterable
Impossible to couch in terms, poetic

And the idea
Of an undiluted, straight from the bottle, blurt

Too strong
And too sour

So, I'll retire to watch the ravens, gleaming
Immaculate in their mourning suits
Gleaning the field of both corpse and corn

Resembling, not so much a murder of crows
As a jostling, bowing body of morticians

The swans are watching as well
But sidelong, and not attentive

They are reflecting, still and quiet
Mute, in their lamentation

I love ravens and think they might pass these poems on to that witch friend of yours.  I didn't know Karen as well as many, but I loved her poetry and intellect.  Loved her posts in the Alley too.

As I said earlier, my heart hurts.

She knows you are thinking of her, my friend. Thank you for this reminder of all that she will always continue to be.
