Outside
My apartment window
I did hear
A murder of crow
Crawing
So mournfully.
In signalling
The doom
Of someone
Nearby.
Never realizing
That person
Was someone
Who I knew.
As I turned on
The clock radio
To listen to
The noontime news.
When
The truth
Hit me.
Rob Ford
The former mayor
And city councillor
Of Toronto
Is dead
From cancer.
Sudden outburst
From outside
Broke the spell
I found myself
Under.
Looking out
A stranger is
Using a broom
To scatter
This murder of crows.
In believing
The Celtic belief
About Crow
Being the harbinger
Of death.

Personally, I despite everything that Rob Ford, stood for, political, and as, a human being. But, he tried his best, to make Toronto, a better city, during his time, in office, as an elected official. For me, he will be remembered, as the first sitting Mayor of Toronto, openly rejected all invitations, from Pride Toronto, to be involve, with Toronto's annual celebration of the LGBT+ community, during Pride Week (last full week of June).
