I looked to the window. Patch was gone, but a single black feather was pressed to the outer pane, held in place by last night's rain. Or Angel Magic
A face at the window, a tap on the pane, who is it that wants me tonight in the rain?

A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane

Even through the shut window pane, the world looked cold.
The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children.
Time, like a flurry of wild rain,
Shall drift across the darkened pane!
