The September Crows

On a branch inside the old Spanish oak
their black feathered cloaks glistening
sullen eyes watching through the window.
The September Crows arrived overnight
to escort out the falling days of summer, the chill
in their eyes, shimmering on their feathers, sung inside
their raucous promise of all the
sorrows of October waiting.
