when the crow whispers

the hat man
the shadow man
taunt you
while the crow
whispers in your ear

the hat man feeds on fear
when you see him
take his hat
and wear it like a trophy

the shadow man
is just you 
afraid of the light
as you are afraid
of the dark

you balance each other

your shadow is your friend
he has held you on the darkest 
of nights

hold him now in the light of the moon
take turns wearing the demon's hat
dance together as one

the shadow man
is just a spider
a daddy long legs
use your thumb
to crush him
against the wall

the crow calls you
to fly in the night
follow him to the highest
branches

he is trying to show you
how to see
how to spread your wings
how to  scream

shift your shape on reality
​it is the key
to manipulating the sky
