Delicate and defenceless
You foraged in the undergrowth
Alert to the sounds of the forest
You quivered with life, and fear of predators
Your tiny hooves tap-tap-tapping on the forest floor,
a warning to others
a warning to others
What chance did you have against them, their teeth and claws?
Minute ruminant!
Captive in your glass prison
A tableau of nature in imitation
With eyes lifeless and unseeing
You captivated me
