Eruption ~ Jacek Yerka
The crow descends in silhouette
Trees scratch his name against the dawn
While last year’s leaves as yet un-swept
Declare the day in whispered scorn
And from my thoughts hang twisted kites
That steal the night unhinge the locks
Their fingers search out every tumbler
Their tails jump-start the mourning clocks
His silhouette descends through boiling clouds
Calls my name across the dawn
The flock mark my passing and check my pace
I pick my beak with talon thorn
Breath condenses words from steam
Balloon thoughts here too soon dispersed
This music feeds my fever dream
Leaves me walking paths well versed
Trees scratch his name against the dawn
While last year’s leaves as yet un-swept
Declare the day in whispered scorn
And from my thoughts hang twisted kites
That steal the night unhinge the locks
Their fingers search out every tumbler
Their tails jump-start the mourning clocks
His silhouette descends through boiling clouds
Calls my name across the dawn
The flock mark my passing and check my pace
I pick my beak with talon thorn
Breath condenses words from steam
Balloon thoughts here too soon dispersed
This music feeds my fever dream
Leaves me walking paths well versed

Unlike you Pisces, words presently fail me. All I can say is that it is always a brimming pleasure to read your work.
Aging is hell.
Thanks Justin! :D
Walking Man: Hell is hell ;]
awesome. i love this.
I enjoyed this poem and the pictures it paints; a brilliant eruption.
Of course, with dawn being my first love, "Trees scratch his name against the dawn" is my favourite line.
And Yerka is amazing, thanks :)
le Lune: thank you :)
The Scrybe: you're welcome :]
Splendid. You are one of the best poets I have come across on blogger.
Thank you Megan

Incredible
"and from my thoughts hang twisted kites which steal the night unhinge the locks"
So beautiful, I can do nothing but read it over & over again.
As @spit said, incredible.
