Between the Birches

in the soft new snow
the crunch below
hidden in the forest
shown in the clearing
the tracks there revealed
the deer between
the birches and the pine
the racks wandering
following their own
a run unseen by us
hidden in the snow
leading them on
up the mountain
to the safety of the wood
far from prying eyes
the muzzle of a gun
