The Raven Calls

November 14, 2015

Say no more,

because the raven says, "Never more".

Tis I who has your tongue,

now you shall stay silent.

The numbered days are no longer numbered.

Hush.

I'm not all the way here.

I'm not making sense,

yet I'm still coughing up sentences.

Rationalizing missing things that were always things that were missing.

Let's be honest.

When it calls is it an illusion?
