raze
the
ligaments
of
their
language
might
not
look
like
our
own
,
but
they
have
ways
of
making
themselves
understood
.
when
a
chimpanzee
whispers
in
a
fawn's
ear
near
enough
to
graze fur
with
the
funnel
of
his
face
,
the
young
doe
knows
she
will
not
drown
in
the
pool
of
clear
water
that
calls
to
her
.
she'll
emerge
shivering
,
a
cold
in
her
bones
like
none
she's
ever
known
,
eyes
unblinking
in
the
absence
of
evening's
muted
affirmation
.
in
this
way
,
she'll
learn
to
discern
a
moving
mirror
from
an
invitation
to
step_into_fear
and
come
out
clean
on
the_other_side
.
