learning about shadows

a young boy kicks through
falling snow

leaving a distinct trail
as he weaves

around trees and parked cars
singing something

anything
making it up

until three crows glide down
to the street

only a few feet from the boy
who stops cold

while the crows squawk and hop
from spot to spot

then spread their wings into
a gust of wind

leaving the boy standing
frozen in place
