Remus saw six birds;
Romulus after claimed twelve.
'Twas Twin betrayal.
1.
Corvids wheel on high,
umbral shapes 'gainst firmament -
augury of woe.
2.
Incarnadine dawn,
sanguine clouds presage combat,
strife's grim harbinger.
3.
Anserine vanguard,
avian exodus southbound,
nature's divination.
4.
Astral wanderer,
transient celestial herald,
fate's emissary.
5.
Luna's sickle wanes,
tenebrous tidings whispered
in fading argent.
