Coyote Woman Becomes Raven | Raven Joy
look
her twisted body lies below
the blood matting to the fur
her tongue protrudes
eyes not yet dead
her heart torn from her chest
devoured by lions
thrown into the raging fire
her spirit blackens
and flies upward
in flames and cinders
until Raven
circles above
looks down
and flies off
Coyote Woman Becomes Raven – Part II | Raven Joy
she staggers back
the arrow piercing her breast
she screams
the sound turns to wings beating the air
shiny black feathers become visible
raven circles overhead
