Remus saw six birds;

Romulus after claimed twelve.

'Twas Twin betrayal.

The most important of all augury stories. 🐺

Yes!

Imagine having to call it the Reman Empire…

I always wondered why it wasn't Romulan like in Star Trek...😂

That would have been much better. I think they really dropped the ball there.

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.

Crow guts on my floor

I said no more omens, Frank!

Look, he's dead now too.

So messy, maybe get Frank some tarot cards for his birthday.

Liver is spotty,

The intestine loops strangely.

This augurs badly...

I saw a video in college of a guy in South America doing a reading of Guinea pig entrails. It was pretty gnarly.

Tea leaves dance, settle,

Patterns confirm her verdict.

She nods, the ax falls.

I wonder if you could use “because the tea leaves said to” as a defense at your murder trial.
