How direct his gaze!
The curiosity and intelligence,
The magnificence of his antlers,
Still fuzzy from regrowth —
Antlers which get removed in fall,
Returning, larger than ever
In the spring…
Here, too, loss and rebirth
Have become a fact of life,
Yet still we humans balk at change and loss,
Despite the growth each shift in being promises.
