Blackbird Sitting
By midnights voice
.
.
I am the blackbird sitting on the branch
watching you
Peering into every aspect you do
Kaw Kaw . . . and you
Late at night . . . if I ever get out of here
I swear I will turn into a thunderstorm
And hurl my bolts of light at you
Pound you with my thunder
I am the blackbird and I am still watching you
Can you feel the unease of my stare
Kaw Kaw
Now you are aware
I hold a grudge forever more
Never can I release the hate and pain
Nothing nice again , just rain
I could never get out
The blackbird and I ,
Feathers fluttering to the ground
Both of us go around and around
Daggers drawn , guns blazing
Like I said it was late at night
Cursing and swearing my heart pounds
Mark my bolts ! Holding thunder !
I notch another line on the short barrel of life
Blackbird ! Blackbird ! Blackbird be !
I am the blackbird sitting in your tree
Peering into every aspect that you might be
Kaw . . . Kaw . . .

The crow comes to mind MV and is common in Native American folklore; as well as elsewhere. Sounding cursed and omniscient here in your personification. Dead eyes know the pecking demon you invoke - cheers! - Dan
