Saturday

Early one winter morning, sitting on my raised bed with a dead rabbit. It was dark, with only the street lights on.
I might not even of seen it because of the snow.
It stayed for a few minutes and then flew down the middle of our street with the rabbit.
Silent.
It was beautiful.

Except for the rabbit.
