Sunset Crows



The sun prepares himself to set
and fills the horizon with colors 
that would have delighted sailors of yore.
My friends fly off to join the local murder of crows 
dotting the top branches of the thin tree line.
Like tiny beads of thick black acrylic paint 
on the very tips of a paintbrush,
they are poised above 
a newly stretched canvas of sky.
