Crow Crescent Moon
by Everett A Warren

June 3, 2006

Crow used to fly on two wings
but now he makes do with one
for, he says, one wing is better than none
His strong right wing still a shadow
but an echo of what it had been
and I wonder how he came to this
Was it Hawk who caught him
with the sun in his eyes?
Or Eagle, showing
his strength and might?
Brother or sister,
in argument that went too far?
Crow doesn't say a word,
and remains proud,
with his crescent moon wing
flying straight and true.
