Summary & Analysis

the shadow of a crow

the ground beneath her hands

the color of despair; verbs, all of them tiring

like any other thing, a gift; ashes of roses

exile and brute wandering

source and root

to live like a gamecock

in place of the truth; the doing of it

freewill savages; bride bed full of blood

a satisfied mind; a vow to bear

naught and grief; black bark in winter

footsteps in the snow; the far side of trouble

spirits of crows, dancing; epilogue. October of 1874
