People fall, as trees do fall.

And I try to believe that the Topaz Bird means us no harm. I try to believe that. "Silly." But "I look up, too, and imagine the Topaz Bird there--its terrible claws, its beak curved and sharp, its feathers brutal, sharpening into points. It grows huge. It devours mice in front of me. It lands on my mother's head like a spiked crown, drawing blood from her scalp." --Carole Maso from Ghost Dance
