In the beginning was Scream
Who begat Blood
Who begat Eye
Who begat Fear
Who begat Wing
Who begat Bone
Who begat Granite
Who begat Violet
Who begat Guitar
Who begat Sweat
Who begat Adam
Who begat Mary
Who begat God
Who begat Nothing
Who begat Never
Never Never Never

Who begat Crow

Screaming for Blood
Grubs, crusts

Anything

Trembling featherless elbows in the nest's filth

    What is with the CROW??? He seems to be obsessed with using the crow.....the crow is a horrid creature really...why not the raven? I suppose this is the effect he was after...the raven is similar, but more white light, more spotlight, more can-I-have-you-autograph . Interesting that he sneaks it in there so frequently....
