in the forest
a glimpse of a deer fleeting
through trees and undergrowth
the fleeing muscular
panic   the flow 
of music   the syncopation of branches 
snapping   the fear and feared   there
and gone   in a car park   a shopping centre
in the x-ray of a bone
stopping somewhere
hidden   eyes gleaming
nostrils flaring   snorting
breathing   a heart beating
decrescendo   a violin   a
piano
on a patio   a desk in an office
an armchair in a place called
home
still   birdsong  
laughter
the play of light on leaves
voices   a choir
acknowledging a stranger
sotto voce    in the forest
the head bending
the tongue lapping at water
licking at stone
