Copy Change Poem - Sweet Like a Crow

Your voice sounds like a pitiful wolf
howling at the moon
like a horse in it's dying moments
like thunder growling in the night
like a screaming kettle, like a school teacher
writing on a black board, like an electric sharpener,
like a window being shattered
a child being slapped
a stereo at full volume
Like a little boy crying in the dark,
like a toad croaking at night
like an oak tree being cut down,
an angry crow, a baby girl
with a needle in her arm
like a school being bulldozed
like a candle blown out
like the sound I heard when studying for an exam
and someone walked through my room in high heels.
