descends
becomes
a raven
becomes
a huge raven
becomes
a raven as big as the boy
standing beside the garden
watching the raven
drop from the sky
enfold him in black wings
that make him fear
he will smother
he will never see again
it does not help
when the raven relaxes
becomes his mother
says "I love you"
in his family
no one says that
unless someone is dying
his mother stands
walks back into the house
leaves him beside the garden
standing in day turned night
