"...In the dawn-dirty light, in the biggest snow of the year two blue-dark deer stood in the road alerted. They planted their two or three years of secret deer-hood.
Clear on my snow-screen vision of the abnormal and hesitated in the all-way disintegration and stared at me.
And for some lasting seconds I could think the deer were waiting for me.
...............................................................................................
The deer had come for me. They ducked through the hedge, and upright they rode their legs away downhill over a snow-lonely field."
