1 " My Crow"A crow flew into the tree outside my window.It was not Ted Hughes’s crow, or Galway’s crow.Or Frost’s, Pasternak’s, or Lorca’s crow.Or one of Homer’s crows, stuffed with gore,after the battle. This was just a crow.That never fit in anywhere in its life,or did anything worth mentioning.It sat there on the branch for a few minutes.Then picked up and flew beautifullyout of my life. "
― Raymond Carver , In A Marine Light: Selected Poems
