Crow’s talons hook
on to the ledge
of the window. Curious
luminous eyes peer
in. Young boy sits
on white window seat
entranced by the bird.
Crow cocks his head.
Young boy smiles, waves.
Next morning boy leaps
out of bed and runs
to the window. No crow.
He is sad, disappointed.
Wait. Something shiny
catches his eye. On
the sill lay two silver
coins, and strips of red
ribbons.  The boy wonders,
how could he know I lost
a tooth.
