Three crows.
Sometimes, that sweet singing of a koel is not sweet but annoying. So much so that I want three crows to shout in her face.
Not the koel’s fault perhaps. I am here living in the city and dreaming of waking up in a village. I am here and yet not here. Or, the koel is where she is not meant to be.
