Quiet as a hart in the forest

She’s tiptoeing, his tame gazelle

With caribou songs she serenades -

Are his ears deaf to his tame gazelle?

Rivulets fashion into veins of crystal

A mathematician out of snow for me.

Glass hexagons on ivy sprigs crack and freeze

The blood red sun is my evening candle flame
