Holding a solid
gold moon, secure
in my antlers.
Luminescence like
an angel’s aura.
Humans lack
respect for the
bountiful beauty
provided them
free of cost for
all. The animal
kingdom has placed
their faith in me
to keep the moon
safe from human
exploration. Its
face must remain
in tact. It must
remain whole. I hold
a solid gold moon,
waiting.
