Father Raven

Intelligence is a scavenger

A hoarder of shiny ideas, or 
A collector of things of every color
mixed and stirred into black
A foolish lover of roads
A Monster 
that only mates 
with members of the same social class.

Speaker for the dead
Eater of the dead 
leaves, leaver of marks.
They can grow to love, to collect an inedible fruit.

An inedible
apple

Coveted by hungry black
eyes.
