The young stag ...



I thought of Actaeon -

His crown of antlers - 


His new body, his nakedness - 

The moment of transformation - 


No words now from his lolling tongue - 

The memory of that beautiful white body still terrible - 


Standing, heart pounding, terrified, under the ancient trees - 

Waiting for the huntress -
