The crow caves. Crows in
waves at sunset, waves of crows returning to the
secret crow caverns. Sea crow caves.
Yesterday, a lapis lazuli
sky. A sky of blue & white marble. Blue ham
strung with a webwork of gristle. Blue eggs & ham. Ham sandwich for the
HAM radio operators. TV stars in a blue chlorine summer.
Mars message on the Isthmus
of Armageddon. Mars blinking in morse code.
It began on Day 9, and was noticed only by the retarded boy who stares at
the evening sky.
