i put a crow
inside my gut
its feathers talked
to inner red
of atlantic fucks
i didn't bother to coffin
my thoughts into paper that night
the crow was shitblack
and i couldn't word a sparrow
just for the heck of it.

Gotta say, that's one of the most awesome titles I've seen in a long time. Trust you to think of something so retina-blindingly-awesome
.
"its feathers talked"
That sounds so foreshadow-y to me, or like a nonchalant observation of "Why life is fucked up". Love this personification
"i didn't bother to coffin
my thoughts into paper that night"



How bloody genius...'coffin' Where in the hell did you make up something so genius? I love that I can have more than one interpretation of it...seriously, I don't think anybody does non-spaced words/pun-like things better than you do.
My mouse is fucked-up, so I can't scroll to reread your ending,
but it was tres tres bien.

Thanks soooo much for entering, I was about to nag you

Remind me to give this applause later;
my mouse literally can't CLICK onto anything
and I suck with hot keys.
