Rob Schackne #1014 - The Bloods

The Bloods

              life a dream of alteration/
                all I can admire is the stitches/
                even as new leaf on a seedling/
                beanies talk as loud as crows/ 
                   – Kerri Shying, from 'Day Bed with Bars' (2019)

All you want
I said all you want
we listen slowly

to know
an hour gone
and one to come

admire the skill
I allus has wan
at eleven son

the one that hurts
yard-end to mast
landfall close

to bear a gift
from a crow, they
will tell everyone

visible

and invisible
the rivers of blood

connecting
easily as a tree
you and me

crow in a word
in a word everything
loud as the wind
