The girl was riding a horse
alongside brave hunters
with painted spears.

They jumped fences,
following loud, barking dogs
in search of boar or wild turkey.

They camped.
She went out in a boat
with two. Downstream.

From there they saw the blazing
fire against the night cutting
mist along the mountain line.

With its ears twitching,
a mule deer stood in a clearing
in snow near pines.
His head slightly raised, sniffing.
