There's ink on the

Parchment paper,

Staining my quill

As I write in silence.


A solemn nod as

Chittering echoes

In the blizzard, a

Beckoning birdsong

That's wild and shrill.


So I leave my window

Pane cracked open,

Just for a dull moment

To ease the hollow wind.


When the light of dusk

Graced my frigid skin,

There was a letter on

My desk along with

A crow's feather, dusted

From evening snowfall.


I wallowed in the sunlight

As hazel breached the

Creaking floorboards,

Glancing wearily at the

Open window by my desk.


Perched on the sill was

A quiet crow, and a worn

Letter in the bird's beak.


It seemed my time for

Company was overdue.
