Who knows what lurks in the hearts of man?
Ask the crow. He's picking a man's heart
Apart.
What does he find?
A bobby pin,
A glove's lost twin,
A violin,
A house caved in.
A ghetto blaster,
A bust made of plaster,
A CD-ROM,
A picture of your mom.
A lady, a gentleman,
A woman with a deep tan.
A street lamp at night,
An ancient rite.
A bloody circle,
A shredded kirtle.
A tossed-away ring,
A woman on the wing.
A kiss of forgiveness, one final goodbye,
As she lifts off into the sky.
