    Black Dog


    The black crows are on the high tree again.
    Squat and scabbed
    Limned against the light

    Tricksters

    Old man coyote howls against the moon!
    My black dogs answer back
    They huddle on my bed
    And know what’s not
    To give tongue to.

    My ears are numb

    To find silence

    You will have to gentle her
    Warm her in the heart of silence
    And gentle her
    Love her in the heart of silence
    And gentle her

    And in the heart of silence
    Know which deaths tales lie
    And which do not!

    a kittle hard to follow - seems it's about death - ok

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.
