Horse Collar

There is only one way to bring it down.
There is only one way to drop it like a deer.
A deer slug.
Crawling through the ceiling.
All along the walls.
To the left of the window.
The corners of the halls.
One deer slug.  Drop it like a stag and cry and laugh
when the antlers hit the floor like a spilled bag of beads.
Bag it and tag it and off to the factory it goes to make clothes and glue.
Affix the seams of reality.
A bull forcing its way
through the seams of sight.
Charging.  Deer slugs!  Charging.  Not this time.
Please, not today.  Please!
Horns down, hands up.  Gone.
