{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.
