		Congratulations on the publication, merc darling.  When I first read this poem, I wanted to comment on it, but didn't want to do so with tears streaming down my face, and I was already looking pretty insane to all my family staying with me close to xmas...so I withdrew from it.  It's strange because reading ray's carrion crows' nuts two days ago had me reminiscing about some of my favorite pet birds over the years (one was a crow named Pegleg) and Barny the owl...after re-reading this just now I had to take 3 grapes to the limestone marker of Barny's grave because they were always his favorite snack and he could only have 3 a day because 4 would give him diarrhea. 
Rambling now, but I have known people that have moved nothing more than the dirt it takes to bury them their whole lives, and you have moved more in just one poem.
