he was cawing in a fashion that sounded like a laugh
I carefully opened the drape for a closer look
He was only a couple of feet away on a branch with his back to me
His jet black feathers had a deep blue sheen
they glistened in the morning sunlight
I was still and quiet, just watching him laugh
suddenly, in one hop he did a 180 and was looking me in the eye
he turned his head sideways to get a better look
I didn't blink..
he hopped closer to the window,
almost to the end of the branch
we were only inches apart..
my window was open,
only the screen stood between us..
I held my breath not wanting to scare him away..
I had never been this close to a raven..
