Red stains
Trickling vermilion streaks
bleed on virgin snow
Red Cardinal flits branches
seeking crimson Dogwood fruit
hunter tracks dying buck
birds whistle red-flag warning
sun dips in darkness veil
ice reflecting moon's glow
deer's stilted legs falter
falling in bloodshot tears
forest frozen silent...
clacking of blade on bone
flushes nesting Cardinal
hunter's carving antler trophy
he ends by wiping
death soaked hands
leaving forest stained Red
bleed on virgin snow
Red Cardinal flits branches
seeking crimson Dogwood fruit
hunter tracks dying buck
birds whistle red-flag warning
sun dips in darkness veil
ice reflecting moon's glow
deer's stilted legs falter
falling in bloodshot tears
forest frozen silent...
clacking of blade on bone
flushes nesting Cardinal
hunter's carving antler trophy
he ends by wiping
death soaked hands
leaving forest stained Red
