Origin - Mount Eerie

In the place where the animal went down to the water to die

A swamp grew

And rotting stump wood

Their darkest homes

The people stopping only long enough for day to come

Holding breaths

Waiting for morning

Among the bones

The white stag hung on a skeleton in the dusk

Skin surrendered

Bleached and withered

Broken and blown

A snag fallen into the mud from the tallest tree

No one seeing

A wooden antler

Decaying bone

In the mud

In the mud

In the mud

In the mud

In the mud
