Star perched ravens nest__ By Merritt Waldon


In the wilderness, a repetitive pilgrimage 

Of Spirit & earth


Muddy mingling of forms

Brown, green & ruddy

The world spins


As I sit here cackling and Cawing

The winged eternal songs


Weaving each moment beak wise

Into a nest perched upon a star


Tending to the hatchling future

Struggling for life
