{Roe} Deer

 In The North,  The Deer Is Often Used As 
 A Symbol  For  The  Forest'S Agency,  Or 
    Its Self-Knowledge. Watching Eyes.    
                                          
 Warmer Regions Instead  Ascribe  It  The 
 Knife  (Teeth,  Rumors Of  Violence), Or 
    Obsession (Unblinking Eyes, Always    
      Awake, Scrapie-Like Behavior).      
                                          
                                     
                               
                                     
                                          
 The Deer Is A Cross Between  A Horse And 
 A  Dog.  It Bears  A  Resemblance  To  A 
 Young   Salix   Tree,    And    Has    A 
     Sweet-Smelling Nose, Like Honey.     
                                          
 The Horns  Of A Deer Is  Called Antlers. 
 They  Have A Complex  Fractal Shape, And 
 Are  Believed  To  Enable  The  Deer  To 
 "Fold" Through Passages Which  Should Be 
 Too  Narrow For  Them. Antlers From Dead 
 Deer   Seem   To   Lose    This   Power. 
                                          
 A Deer'S  Heart Has Two  Chambers, Where 
 It Stores  All The Secrets It  Might See 
 During  The Course Of  It'S  Life.  With 
 Age  The  Secrets  Will  Harden  Into  A 
    Caramellized Structure, Which Will    
 Eventually Block The Flow Of Blood,  And 
              Kill The Deer.
