Trees are poised and still tonight,
barely moonlit silhouettes that reach to
graze the edge of mystery drifting in a silent vapor.
Raw voiced crows defend their ancient time and space,
jagged sounds asserting boundary even to the gods
that roam dark streets on gentle mist above
the sacred circles of their raucous flight.
Unbearably fragile, night awaits
the breaking of the light.
