黒い鳥 ku-roi-tori

As protector he came,

hair-like feathers,

silky diamond wings.

Pretender to Kyo Usui,

but different legend

sings.

Above a cloud,
beneath his hunger,
blackbird feeds his
nest: Always, ever
a need to fly - to fly
and never rest. 

Beyond
the sky
beneath a
song,
through dreams reflecting
glory,
a name arises
in my eyes, this
world of Kuroitori.

Against a golden
morning, behind
an amber dawn,
a dance of wings
and fashioned things,
Kuroitori's life is
drawn.

Be not tempted
by this cover: Coy,
demure and shy.
This ever-changing
ancient strength
fires Kuroitori's
eyes.

Perched at ready -
for hunt or flight -
a blackbird waits
beyond the night.

His pose at
lift-off soul and mind,
the garnered vision
of flight sublime,
displays the dreams
of all our stories:

The laced-edged
dreams of
Kuroitori.
