12 point buck My long forgotten cousin,            life looks good            through the window Fences strap down            the Earth to the earth            and the animals            to forsaken corners            of my globe.            Your torn leg was            no match for 160 horses            and two tons of steel. I wish I could close my eyes,            and open my heart            to speak your tongue,            and heal your wounds,            to feel your soft fur            still warm and alive            not a motionless trophy. But my species has other goals,            so I trudge inside            out of the cold            out of the death. Life looks good. Through the window. But you made me step outside. |
