“No one asked me what happened. Raymond just told me to get in the truck. He yelled at his daughters to go to their room. "I'm taking you to the hospital," he finally whispered. But we didn't go directly to the hospital. Raymond took me somewhere else first, where I lost half my tooth, and alot more too I guess, on the outskirts, in an ice covered place, surrounded by barbed wire and willows, where monuments of rust, seldom touched, lie frozen alongside fence posts and no one ever comes near enough to hear the hawks cry.”
