A choir of crows
poised in black,
cawing carols-

cawing, as the
sun stares in awe.

Caw-caw-caw-
an aubade.

The temple's mad,
its bells buzz,
ding-ding-ding.
Ting-tong,
goes a gong
at school.

Smirks the kirk,
"Is that a song?"

The mosque,
has a masque-
but later...

Honk-honk,
the horn-
alarms the morn,
"It's all gone wrong!"

Footsteps now,
up and down.
The sun frowns,
"It's all gone wrong."

A heart coos
to another heart
in vain.
The crows in black
come back
and caw
their refrain.
