Grim Women

~

1.

~

the crows burden the trees

gather their iron grits

criticize one another

~

they slip through gaps

in the matrix

and are gone

~

their wings are bruises

on the afternoon

~

their wind is deliberate

and desperate

hardened to the goal

2.

~

in black

grim women

watch one-another

hide the key

beneath the doormat

and glide

towards the town
