eventually. the vultures will pick off what’s left. eventually. the roadkill wagon will carry you off. or eventually . . . you’ll be light enough for the rain to wash away.
yet now. your fawn dares itself to cross the river. its head and antler stubs. just above the rapids.
highway traffic
above the tree line
the mountain view
