I dreamed and appeared content 

Yet I saw the graves defiled 
from the grimace of night now spent.
I had an unwanted admirer  
watching me wherever I went. 
 
Its like my shadow was not my shadow 
and my shadow was this crow...  
stalking me, stalking me, 
wherever id go.

Whispering, whispering,  
footsteps drew ever so near 
hearing them start and stop
until they eventually disappeared.  
 
As the moon followed the sky 
silhouetting its motion,
hearing these commotions cry 
silent murder, to the night.    

Rippling across the river 
shimmering like a mirror of red, 
blood-curdle  now simmered  
as what now stirred was  dead. 
 
My reflection ran-still
quivering  now terrorized,
as the night  now spilled
as a terrace of  the night
 
This shadow- was not my own
these stone rows were graves
"and so this grave is now yours"
the crow now raved.
