She is dark and strong,
Ungraceful and strange.
She is no dove pure in beauty.
She is different.
The big strong black bird.
She is unwelcome, a sign of tragedy.
A hunter never a pet.
Free yet flies alone.
She is Black bird alone in the skies.
Her song is different kind of melody.
Not sweet like a robin's.
Not powerful like an eagle's.
It is a loud shriek mistaken for annoyance.
The tragic black bird in the sky, creature of sorrow.
The beautiful black bird.
