The deer's teeth and woods to which they are applied seem so only to one who is alienated, one who is 'out of place.' To notice and be awed by the specifics of the world is a great first step. But to hold them at a distance, something of a sideshow even, is for me a bit off-putting. Bill Yakehttp://home.comcast.net/~yake/noreply@blogger.com
