...the chance, blown by the fact,
in such humiliating circumstances...

...and I am in paradise...

...staggering as if these words died on their way to you...

watched a red-tailed hawk being attacked by crows.
watched a red-tailed hawk eat "something".
watched a red-tailed hawk bleed.
Buteos jamaicensis...the bullied bird

MS--Death Valley

MS--Death Valley

...whose hands were unafraid until then...
