A Crow Reincarnated edit 0.000001 billy

[tectak]

Look to the crow, hung spiked on the wire, wind torn and tied.
Dead by the lead that flew to his calls,
blooding black feather, searing inside;
watch as he falls.

Look to the body that swings from the tree, hollow and dried.
Death dealt by demons, holy men all,
whose merciless gods walk by their side. (do you need a period here)
Face to the wall.

Look to the crow that died without cause, as others will, too.
Croak into blackness, silence the dawn,
keep secret beliefs; next it is you
to be reborn.

It is a disciplined write and I wonder whether the 13,9,9,4 syllable counts in the stanzas pertain to any specific form. It's dark there is a kind of starkness in it and I like the metaphor.

Thank you , Tamara, for commenting. That period is vexacious...the answer is, I just don't know. What do you think. You do not say.
Syllable counting is for the birds. Unless you are talking strict meter then readability, out loud, is way more important than cold counting of syllables. So no, it has no known "form"...unles others know otherwise.
Best,
