Jonah and the doe.

Thinking of the warm, still form;

In leaves he rests, breathes.

We brought the kids down into the "bottomlands" to examine the doe and engage in a little CSI:Canoga Creek. We recreated where the deer was standing when first hit, the approximate trajectory and wound channel and discussed the literal coup de grace.

My haiku attempt referenced Jonah's request for a little rest after the close-up examination of the doe.; Wed Feb 13, 10:56:00 PM 2008
