Description
Black vulture standing on the roof of the corn crib.
In March, I discovered that I was being watched by a black vulture. Weeks later, I was startled by its booming footsteps atop the corn crib’s tin roof. It lived there. Inside was a dustless circle on the floor where the bird rested.
John T. Edge asked me if I knew of Faulkner’s quote, “If I were reincarnated, I’d want to come back a buzzard. Nothing hates him or envies him or wants him or needs him. He is never bothered or in danger, and he can eat anything.”
Some small part of me believed the bird was Faulkner.
