Statue of flesh and blood
Heart of glass
Shelter for the raven
Oppressive fog denied entry
Cracks on the statue’s surface
as it ever so slightly reaches for the raven
Curious obsidian beauty
reflected in it’s bright half-lidded eyes
Courageous little deaths
Shuddering feathers and chipped skin
Glass heart pure
Feathers intact
Bright darkness engulfing the raven
Wisps of fog seep in
Chilling feather tips
Fog the raven must return to
Man with the heart of glass
Looking forlorn as she fades into the dark
