Gelest If I were an animal, the soldiers could not find me. If I
hold still I can become a deer. I lean over the creek and
lap with my tongue. I feel under my skirt for the hooves.
The soft deer tail My nostrils widen. I smell the wind.
I look into the creek and see the downy ears on my head.
I lift my head and step through the woods. My deer
leavings are all of me you get.
-Pushing the Bear,
