Harsh Valentine

The harsh black bird
Lands in my yard
His prayer is hard
 
A squawk the heart has heard
Before an inward screech
Grinding the world to a halt
 
A silent fatal blow
No one else notices in passing
The heart un-pierced
 
But the body left hanging
A hole in its side
Where things go wrong
 
Stay open o heart
To his inclement song
It is long not long
