She is attended today by
Cardinals, titmice, sparrows, finches,
Chickadees, bluejays, purple finches
And two woodpeckers, one redbellied
The other hairy. The usual crows
Are conspicuously absent since this
Is one of the days they're obliged
To make deliveries in Hell.
(I read once a book about things
Believed in Indiana one of which
Concerned crows bringing
Small rocks to Hell. Crows are clever
And would soon figure out that the trip
Might be more profitable if they
Took along other things too)
