says one to the other
you think it’s time yet
the other he shivers
bunches up feathers
the form on the ground
it quivers
no, not yet, not yet
says one to the other
and then a crow flies past
cawing hey bruthas!
and one says to the other
fucking crows
can’t they see
we’re magpies you an me
thass right says
heckle, nodding to jeckle

and the form on the ground
it groans, and qives up one more shudder
no more quiver
