A person searches for arrowheads.

The Crow 

I hear your repeated syllable 

of lonliness and despair 

come across this ploughed meadow 

as I search for arrowheads. 

Ancient bird, 

watching from your pine perch 

remembering 

the campfires 

of those who brought us here 

and their prayers 

that went up like smoke in the wind 

leaving only some stone intentions 

to survive. 

~Will
