Augury

Looking back now

I should have known 

when I saw Raven there 

in the middle of the road 

because, it was 5 am

and I was finally going home

I was the happiest I’d been for ages

A perfect summer's Dawn

with a perfect rising Sun

I'd never seen him there before, in the middle of the road

so I should have known? 

I should have read it as a sign?

and I should have turned back 

so now I know...

I cannot change what is or what has been?

but if I ever see him there again

My darling Raven, in the middle of the road  

I'll know, I'll know...

just what to do.
