I forgot about ravens

For months now

move after move after move

and now that i am settled, or coming into

its like they are gone

not in the trees or i am not looking

not listening

and it is terribly painfully obvious yet up until

now i have noticed,

in resting habit of this haunted house where even my dog

cannot see itself to occupy…

I know now, they do not live where I am living, breathing daily and suffocating

bleak and low atmosphere, and I reckon it is me

or the lack of ravens, no wonder we all sink.
