Description
The dream recurred always with a colorless sky. Featherless birds, huge and reptilian, flew wheeling, maddeningly slow, low over the gravelly, eroded bluffs at the mouth of the canyon. Each bird's craw was crammed full, bulging with something, like a stork's bill full of fish. Whenever one cawed, a bundle fell. Roughly swathed in strips of chalky white gauze or linen, the bundles plummeted like stones toward the highway ad the rushing shallow river. It was her job to catch the bundles.
