Scarecrow

Scarecrow

How they peck at you,
you stuffed, silly man. Keeping vigil
of somber field, and hateful orange sky.
The sun is eclipsed, blotted out by
the murder.

and they descend
in a terrible fury. Grotesque cawing
and so harsh a cacophony
that you shiver

i can not.
the image the pathos
all encompassing
My eyes wide shut
the walls laughing.

I wish this fist would tighten. I hope to God
to be nothing more than this scarecrow.
stuffed, silly man, resigned to
seeing always the murder ahead
but never the merciful sleep.

Oh I would kick and claw
and tear and rip and shred and
kill

this black host. They rend flesh from bone.
My brittle
hollow bone that
feeds the earth and
changes man.

Scarecrow, Scarecrow, Scarecrow

When will we learn to
let them come and swallow us
in black feathers?

Hi,

Very powerful, and very dark. Paints vision of
the innocuous scarecrow with the ''All seeing eyes!''

Well done.
