STUNNED There is a shot as it is glass-slapped, yellow-thorned beak crumpling into its paper skull. A flaw in a diamond fountain, it ricochets in a dark arc, sinks into a crown of grass, the black mirrors of its eyes waning to cloud. It is still warm, still soft, still, its oiled plumage tipping sunlight across fanned wings. A feathered ghost haunts the pane, its chalked corpse no bigger than an outstretched hand signalling STOP! and just a moment ago, it had the sky.
