Because It Is My Heart by Stephen Crane – Micro Poetry
A Broken Heart
solitary crow
cawing in the distance
no reply
came back to it
and so it flew
with broken heart
carried in
its beak
A Broken Heart

This image is full of rue, starkly drawn. A potent metaphor for a broken heart.

Is the crow a kin to the Raven? I ask because that is the bird so often read of in fairy tales, carrying away hearts..(and pecking out eyes, etc). Love the chilling image! Thanks for sharing.
