WAYMARK CHESTNUT KESTREL |
---|
for G.E. |
Cast against the sky a clutch of branches swallowing our kestrel's slipping silhouette. The dash of the bird was something we both heard before we saw it, speaking against the tree the lunge-language of any hunter on its way: honouring the tree as much as those today who shift their line of road because of it. |
