Raven of obsidian
eye & onyx plumes,
Guardian spy of stone
ancient tombs,
You of ruby tongue
& hard marble claw,
Who silence all dying,
with a single caw,
Garbed in silken head
& velvet feather,
Forever vigilant,
in all sorts of weather,
Making sapphire oaths
to crimson moon,
Beauty, enough to
make dead men swoon.
