Whitetail in the Rain Moving About
       

to lure the deer install the salt

acquire the sack of corn and scatter

red clover

chicory orchard grass give them

fruit in the rainstorm give them

such a mineral they cannot turn from you

give them the pea plant the acorn

the encounter

the encounter you want

the meadow embouchure

paint the orchid scent on the bottoms

of your shoes and walk into the herd

shore of unshed velvet
