Ravens

Carrion across the atmosphere
So thick without breath here;
Only suffocation without life
And eyes swimming in a scarlet sea.

Reaching wings, mangled feathers of the kite
Dusted black, fall like night,
And a dying echo of a cry
Haunts the air, but never leaves my side.

A warning to the people, death has
Gone and come to pass.
Near the distance life abounds and dies
With no end and no way to begin.

A whisper, a moment and the sight
Cannot prevent the flight
Of the shroud that comes to eat the day
Where life doesn't live to know and die.
