Confession The tall tree looked as it was burdened with a secret, I walked under the tree looked up and saw ten thousand black, shining crows. When I took the camera out of my pocket to take a picture they flew up. On the blue, early sky looked as a black cloud going east getting bigger and menacing. A tried to take a photo of the cloud but the sun was in my eyes. A ripple of a shudder across the landscape, but the tree looked free as one coming out of a confession cubicle.
