Weirdcore Nonsense

spotted a disappearing deer

(or a spotted disappearing deer

which makes it probably a fawn

though all fawns disappear

that is how they become deer

but this which I spotted was a deer already

so had only been, once, probably a fawn)

nesting under the high noon black sky

an unsettling cryptid ungulate

weirdcore woodland wanderer

autigendered antlers angle arbitrarily

a ten-pointed trellis where

midnight blue climbing conchords croon

ripening in the first not winter frost

summoning the silent birds

baffled beaks miming stolen songs

between gluttonous grabs of bitter wine berries

until, at long last, unladen and languid,

it rose and reconstituted,

no longer a disappearing deer,

perhaps spotted or perhaps not

animals are cool
