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
