Crows land on the roof and make
the shingles rattle. Echoes 

run down the walls and into 
the foundation. If the beams 

aren't well-placed, a feather
could tilt the balance. Their coats 

are so black, they're almost blue. 
They preen in the sun with no need 

for combs, pearls, or buttons. 
Every day is black tie day. 

You would not know, unless 
you too were invited.
