Augury

 
Looking back now
 
I should have known 
 
when I saw Raven there 
 
in the middle of the road 
 
because, it was 5 am

and I was finally going home
 
I was the happiest I’d been for ages
 
A perfect summer's Dawn
 
with a perfect rising Sun
 
I'd never seen him there before

in the middle of the road
 
so I should have known? 
 
I should have read it as a sign?
 
and I should have turned back 
 
so now I know...
 
I cannot change what is or what has been?
 
but if I ever see him there again
 
My darling Raven, in the middle of the road  
 
I'll know, I'll know...
 
just what to do.
