A crow landed onto a knot of loosely hanging wires,
his head cunningly in search of the mother.
Seeing no one, he darts into the tiny makeshift nest
tucked between an apartment window and rusted security bars.
The innocent white egg stands out against the thief’s black coat
as he flies through the twilight, noticeably conscious of his guilt.
The mother returns, still as a just-shattered heirloom
before collecting her pieces to race out in the direction of the crow.
