From atop the trees It is easy to see Approaching intruders And Raven sits Waiting to raise alarm Once upon a time When the world was Still younger than Memory, all spirits Spoke to each other In beautiful voices One day they met And discussed how To divide the world Their pleading like Songs on the wind Until… No agreements could Be reached among the tribes So they began to fight Raven was fierce And painted himself black With ashes from his Slain enemies So he could hide in shadow To ambush the unwary As days passed Many were killed And Raven grew darker Until he was hit in the throat By an arrow. Having lost his beautiful voice He grieved as in fear He avoided all others But his own. Now he sits atop trees Watching for intruders Waiting to raise a raucous alarm And flee intruders How much like you And me |

Your stories [legends] unfold so easily, it is not hard to imagine you, night, a camp's fire, and even the crickets fall silent to the weaves woven.... |
