no unkindness
just a single raven
outside the grocery store
of all places
cawing loudly
obviously unafraid
of the people who stopped
to take pictures
it walked right up to me
cawing loudly
obviously injured
couldn’t fly
probably asking for help
I took no pictures
but instead made the call
and was grateful when
animal control arrived
even though I knew
how this would probably end
NOTE: This is a true story from earlier today.
I've since learned that a group of ravens is called an 'unkindness'.
