Work Text:
Every raven knows Raven, thief
And trickster -- is Raven, sometimes:
Gods know not knowing's a relief;
Want's simpler: food, sex, shiny dimes --
Fly, roost, wait for it --
For what?
Wait ...
Till want's darling comes walking by,
Plastic toggles bobbing like bait
In sun-bright hair. Claw free the tie;
Dodge the steel fingers' counterclaim.
No matter how cheap or tiny,
What's his he'll hold, come wind, come rain.
That's why Raven
sees you,
wants you,
hunts you,
dogs you
-- you're so shiny.
