Paroles de Stormcrow

See the Stormcrow child A ragged, feathered silhouette Against the dusty sky She steps and shakes, twitch and stare Beneath a broken streetlight glare She is wrath, she is fear She is shaking, sobbing fury The night’s firstborn The howling worm within See the Stormcrow child She walks the dust-scabbed shadowlands A home beneath the claw-scratched trees A walk that started nowhere, breathing in the light Facing crunching lonely blacktop miles See the Stormcrow child She spits the blood and feathers Coughing up dirt-filled miles, amnesia Neither here Nor there Born of oil and human hair See the Stormcrow child Twice more Once A bone-hung reminder Of the moments you left behind
