What had the raven to tell me? Was it good, was it bad, was it something I already knew all along?

The old raven

on the fence post

was watching me careful

or suspicious to say the most.

The land of my fathers

sprang right to my mind

and there are no others

of this friendly kind.

Lush and wide oak trees

amongst ferns shady lines,

light interrupted by branches

and fingered leaves in the light.

The raven is nodding,

he’s seen this place too,

he came from that letting,

from the place where I grew.
