1398. the king


a deer 
his horns covered over with fur—
is cold weather coming?
*
a deer
famous for beautiful eyes
staring at me





More often than not, deer when they see you, will turn and quickly run away—but not this one. This striking deer, standing in stillness down there in the tall grasses, simply stared at me, eye to eye, in full command of the situation….like a king!
