Between the Birches – v2

hidden in the forest
in the soft new snow
shown in the clearing
the crunch below
the tracks there revealed
the deer between
the birches and the pine
the paths wandering
following their own

a run unseen by us
etched in the forest floor
hidden in the snow
leading them on
up the mountain
a path they know well
to the safety of the wood
far from prying eyes
or the muzzle of a gun
