The Gospel According to Crow

Crow is shimmer-black, shade-black, shoeshine-black, oil-slick poison black

Crow is piano-black, black piano keys-black, black like the hands of Thelonious or Miles’ lips; purple-black, bruise-black, blues-black, jazz-black

Crow is coffee-black, Jim Crow-black, coal-fired locomotive-black, burning tire smoke-black, new moon-black, 4 AM-black

Crow is boot-black, silk top hat-black, black goat drumhead-black; Crow is mojo bone cat-black, Congo-black

Crow is black as the midnight dew.
