My father took me deer killing in the Hill Country. Nearly froze Until I saw the buck. Killing warms the veins. Unknown glands for killing, hot cheek laid on cold steel for aim, “Take ‘im!” all tremble, took me three shots for killing, The lust killing all old feeling the junior pacifist should be feeling. The killing juice in every duct said, “Where “Where’s another deer For killing?” Two deer, a Texas, a Canada of deer! rose In my lustful guts’ crosshair killing telescopic sights there, Said Yes! the life-shove, death-thrust of this killing grows, Said Yes! Life! Yes! to killing any grey, moving creature in the woods here. That killing feeling might have lasted, only when I walked up through the frosted grass, a fat, green worm crawled out its nose.
