POETRY
Lunatic Crow
Lacerating the unfortified,/ Picking at the flesh for bad blood to find
Afnan Bintey Helal
Limbless black crow crawls the backdoor of lunacy,
Lunatic linearity is realized in the place of filial familiarity.
The ravenous raven ruins its own kind;
Lacerating the unfortified,
Picking at the flesh for bad blood to find.
Forging its own fort, precisely
Taking fragility for bricks,
Tears for grout, and
Fear for furnishing glaze.
A form is formed lacking fortitude!
Crow's make-believe habitation attains scarecrows.
The cannibal crow is not above finding a cure for its cruelty;
Stewing in its pungent air, wanting sourness to satisfy!
