The raven sits alone
Atop the ruins
Ruminating
“One for sorrow!”
“I don’t want to see it!”
I think to myself…
I stumble into a cavernous
Hole in the wall
The legions of darkness
Are afoot
How can I break free?
I grab onto the railing…
My mother takes
One dainty step toward me
I’m reassured!
The sunbeams break into applause!
