A murder of crows
observes my passage,
anchors my presence
In nature, I trust –
all else is noise.

Yes, in nature I trust, I do, and far more than humans and their doings. Nice play on murder of crows as a foil to any other wisdom.

I’ve always liked that a group of crows is called a murder. I don’t know why. In any event, I really like the tension in this poem, that raucous cries of crows represent comfort and trust.
