There is an understanding between me and the crow, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.

There is an understanding between me and the crow
That whichever way I go
It will follow, caw and show
The movement of shadows to-and-fro
As I descend
And thus depend
On ebony wings well hidden from the light
Black feathers beating rhythmically in flight
On that stride
Down right
Into the night
Towards the deepest corners of my mind
When I sleep and dream and am confined
To distorted landscape, scene and sight
