Through the Kindness of Ravens
The Evolution of Hoke’s Focus
by Ron Swan
An unkindness of ravens, so black, the dark is afraid of them.
So is Jakob Hoke.
But perhaps, it is Jakob truly in the dark, and the ravens, the light at the end of his tunnel.

The Americans lost their revolutionary war against the mighty British.
What would have happened then?
What would it be like now?
And, what can someone do about it?
Check out my website for a variety of creativity, from my novels, The Kite and the Coin Toss and Through the Kindness of Ravens, to my blog, quotes, images and more.
…The window and your motives
Two things I see right through
Your aim to burn America
No, that will never do
There’re 200 million more like me
Hellbent on stopping you
The window and your motives
Two things we see right through
Come the dispatch man
And in his dispatch bag
A Declaration
A Constitution
Unfolds the message
Of the American flag
Wave it proud
Fly it high
Americans
But to you
A dispatch
Come a time to pay
And it’s that time for you
It’s time to dispatch you
…I don’t know how
My world’s not a blur
Then you take control
Of my aperture
As it dials down
The temperature rises
You set my world on fire…
Hello
I’m Jess
Jess Doinmyjob…
Hello
I’m Mike
Mike B. Awhistleblower…
We’re not wrong
But can we do what’s right

From one pissed off American…
…But you
You’ll never amount
To the dust of diamonds
Need to fly straight
But you swerve more
Than the winding river bends
Regret’s the only destination
Where that river ends
Every day you spend with her
You live knowing
She deserves better
But you won’t let her go
More wrong that you’ll ever know…
She says
I can’t be a member
A member of this thing called life
If I spend it all
A fallen leaf…
…I should have known
When we first met
She picked me up
I’d won the bet
As I got in
And sat beside her
I saw her car
It was a Spyder
Now it’s as dark
As darkness gets
She spins me
From her spinnerets
Stay tuned!
I will be having a book-signing at the Peoria Barnes & Noble on either Saturday, September 11th or Sunday, September 12th.
I will communicate the details once the date is confirmed.
In the Land of a Million Sunsets
7.29.2021
Life
Blooming
It’s as good as it gets
Finding love
Blooming
In the land of a million sunsets
In the land of a million sunsets
What I’ve found
Blooming
It’s the most life lets
Finding love
Blooming
In the land of a million sunsets
In the land of a million sunsets…
Gonna Hold You Up, Not Hold You Up
Don’t want to hold you down
Like the laces of an umbrella
Meant to tie it when it’s down
Tie it up to hold it down
Gonna hold you up, not hold you up
Just want to hold you up
Let your wings open wide
Meant to fly
Not tied down
Fly high in the sky
Not tied
Completely unbound
To let you fly
I only want to let you fly
I only want to hold you up, to let you fly
Dashboard Stunna’s
I would like to think
Our time together
Not all disposable
Our memories memorable
All pictures poseable
As I look back
I take a drink
We shared a love
I’d like to think…
