A crow sits on the ledge of my bedroom window
Pecking at the glass
My heavy eyes open
It tilts its head
Looking at me
It doesn’t move
I close my eyes
Again it pecks to get my attention
My eyes open again
It stares tilting it head from side to side
What does it want?
I sit up it watches me with curiosity
It won’t let me sleep
I draw the blinds
It starts to bang and claw at the windows
I raise the blinds
Open the window and sit back on my bed
It slowly walks in through the window
We stare without breaking our gaze
This animals judges me
Without words I hear its berating voice
I rush towards it and it flies out
Then I slam the window
I crawl into bed
Drifting back to sleep
I hear it pecking again
