Preceding season,
the nesting crow
(markings of gray and brown)
….is
hearing the gulls assemble
waiting, expectant
eating the body
opening in the rock
opening in a forest
feeding
(feasting) upon a sage
sprouting corn,
investigating a haunch
sloping crevice
beetling cliff;
trying to lodge the foundations.
Dismounting, I led –
Weeping beside the road.

Oy… Lovely!
Wow!!
I love where you were able to go with this. It shows what happens when the constraint works with the poem!
The last line is very deep.
