Description
what forms of math do crows employ
in their daily calculations from tree to wire?
do the currents of air on which they ride
fold about their wings in exacting measure
or do they adjust for implausible chance?

are there books or bits of bark
that maintain such scratches
and are read by fledglings
whilst we look the other way?

should we gather that flight once learned
is not refined or
improved upon by those
that took to it, long before we ever did?

-technical section: you can freely ignore
this bit as it is not poetic, merely superfluous
details on what techniques were employed to
obtain this particular effect-

the paper was hand tinted, parchment
using destress inks (obviously an earth tone)
the background image is a partial illustration
from a clutch assembly found online and the
crow was found in a Highlights children's
magazine from the 60's (i think) ... i might
add more this later, or make it available
for a collaboration ...which is far more likely

thanks to -jennystokes- who pointed out
that the nature of the poem as first posted
(first stanza) was broken by the sudden
and awkwardly clunky inclusion of the technical
section. this has since been corrected and two
additional verses have been added.

thanks Jenny...many hugs
