Stealth!?---Pretty-tough!...especially on "their"-turf!

 
In-the-jungle!?…
 
 
Careful! Breathe-rhythmic! No sudden-moves! Crack!
 
A dead branch hidden under fall's myriad-leaves! Damn!
 Sounded as loud as a rifle-report!---'Mmm!...Breathe!
 
I invaded their-world to hunt the whitetail on his-terms.
 
Hours!---more...sunset-approaches. Maybe?----not...today!?
 
Slowly back-out of the woods---Quiet!...Eyes-alert! Ears---more!
 
Then---there "it" is!...the "white"-ghost! Just a glimpse!
 
Albino-buck! An anomaly! A-chance meeting! A-treasure!
 
"I'll be back one day, Mon Amie!---one day...Soon!"
 
No! I'll never harvest a treasure the likes of you!
 
Just to know you are here---that...is-enough!
 
Adios! Compadre!---for now...we are not so-much...un-alike!
 
Amen!
