Yard Saints
THE WATCHER
a night book of the red-tailed hawk
William Vincent Carleton
The red-tailed hawk uses the dead tree because the living ones hide the world, and from up there the yard is one animal. He does not hurry, because hunger that hurries misses. Snow does not send him off; he only changes the perch.
