Omen of Emptiness
Omen of Emptiness - meaning Summary
Night Poised for Ending
The poem condenses a moment of sleeplessness into a small, uncanny scene. Time and night converge as the speaker lies awake, hearing wings and imagining a giant raven perched outside the room. The bird functions as an omen or embodiment of impending doom, loneliness, or death, arriving only when the speaker finally surrenders to sleep. The mood is quietly ominous and dreamlike, mixing fear with resignation.
