Crow Moment
crow hops lightly
across an empty road
thinks she’s watched over
by God like every sparrow
with dignity and a soul
deserving of salvation
with a special role to play
in the Garden of Eden
with yolk of a robin’s egg
dripping from her beak

I really like this. The form is a perfect for it I think! The last two verses. Yes.
Oh those crows who are so sure they are kings of the universe! If I come back I think I’ll come back as a crow for how else can one be so completely sure of oneself than to be a crow, Your lines just seem to dance with a lightness borne of the moment.
Oh the irony!
A biting comment on arrogance!!
