The Raven Master
The Raven Master
Young ravensin the White Tower,
cross-lit, conspirational.
He is teaching them to talk –
calls them
an unkindness of seven
as if remembering
their prophetic tongues
leading wolves to prey
the deer stepping
through tall blue mist
to water unseen
the speech of birds
picking memory clean.
