Oh Raven

Oh raven, how do you keep your heavy body in the air? By only your black feathery oars and your beating chest? You're bobbing and breathing like a drowning boy out at sea You labour and you lumber against all of gravity's favour Oh raven, do your eyes freeze over? Does it give you a hurting head To breathe all this heatless air? Oh raven, how you do stay up there? Oh sunrise, you are but a Technicoloured stone You're dreaming your way through the sky looking for your home It's your last skip across the universe It's your giant splash, glowing your phosphorescence Oh sunrise, where do you get all your gold? Why are you so hard to hold? Oh sunrise, you and raven, oh you and raven are my only friends
