walking in the morning wakes my words


The winter crows last evening
-hundreds of them-
whirling in the dusk

above the giant bow and arrow
embedded in the park
along the Embarcadero,

perched in raucous rows
on the Muni Metro powerlines
and in the Canary Island Palms.

Hitchcock was a piker
with his puny flock
compared to this vast cloud

black as the list
that he consigned poor Tippi to
when she dared to resist

his groping hands
and gaping lips
in the back seat of his limo.
