Excerpts from the Crow & Benjamin Letters

2.3

Crow,

It’s the latest hour to be asking
but the streets are pouring
and my good luck reckless and infatuated

the reaper sharpens
never lets stale the season

Mother curls her full head of hair
and laughs at our pecking

Have you an explanation?

Today I feel the contrary hope of autumn —

Chocolate lanterns, butterflies under glass
crisp under feet — all send their love.

How passes your time?

Steady and temperate here
a slow burn.

— Benjamin
