the sun has come out
one crow flies across the lot
& then another


—


on the 38
one block from Jack’s Lawson Park
sidewalks lined with tents


—


ol’ crow got sum’n
he takes it up to the roof
of the bus station


—


the year’s shortest day
the mailman knocks on my door
& postage is due


—


without a coffee
I walk back from Circle K
crow caws out hello!
