this wasn't a crow gift, as I found it in the wild (on our walk) but it almost certainly comes from one of "my" crows

a short, wide, black crow feather on concrete sidewalk, plastered flat from having been poured on, the edges of it kind of separated and, well, feathered out.

"what if it was about me"

a black and rust doberman wearing a brass-studded, green leather collar, looking up at the camera soulfully with her front paws on the striped beach towel that is on my living room floor, not quite touching the book and tarot cards.

“We could eat at the museum restaurant.” I do not care to
tramp through the city to whatever food truck these two would
prefer to frequent.
“Have you seen those prices?” Bits asks. “I could pay rent
for a month with what they’re charging for salmon.”
“Salmon has become rather dear.”
“Not too dear, they farm‘emin all those rice fields they got
in California now. It’s just artificial inflation.”
