along the seashore,
 everything is in motion,
  but the crow's eye.

the sharp caw
 of a crow triggers a monk's
  enlightenment.
 a second crow responds.
 a sailor doesn't look up.

in winter,
 a crow perches on a pole,
  once a scarecrow

two crows wrestle,
 spiraling to the ground.
  big, black maple seed

a walk in the park.
 eyes glued to the rising sun,
  a crow dive-bombs me.

Buddha is still;
the clouds wander...
one crow caws

the crow's eye
remains glued on me
as its head swivels

before opening, 
a crow takes a table,
and demands service

a crow alights
upon a flowery branch --
beak pointing at me
