Tourist Trap Crow, by Ms. Graveyard Dirt
If you’ve been visiting Graveyard Dirt for over a week - hi, hello and thanks for coming back for seconds (or thirds or fourths or, you know, whatever) - chances are you’re already acquainted with Tourist Trap Crow in some form (see Panikhida). TTC’s the “saturated, spring chicken” carrion crow Italics and I found during one of our recent roadkill rounds (May 31st, 2011), and since bringing the soaked-to-the-motherfucking-bone bird back home I’ve conducted various funerary rites (Corvid Funeral), ritually prepared the bird for decomposition (Resurrection) and ceremonially interred its skeletal remains into a decay-inducing womb (The Black Rabbit’s Cauldrons).
DISCLAIMER: If you decide to reblog any of my roadkill pictures please keep all of the relevant information (i.e., name, title, journal entry link and text) with the image. (Why?)
This set-up is just beautiful and well thought out. I always find myself in awe of how well you take care of your roadkill finds, and I’m happy they have a good passing, in a way, despite the trauma they went through in their entrance to death.
