The rest of the deer from that stage in time,
On that far away rolling ranch,
Have now ceased to be, dying by
Cottonwood, outcrop, or a Dead Horse branch.
One buck from that era of western time,
A non-typical one that fall,
Still “lives” on, in a sense you’d say,
Majestically, he hangs on my den wall.
