Through a thin pane of shaking glass, the butterflies hear you arrive with your unruly class and, to keep them in line, claim I might not invite you back next year. But it’s fine. Besides, I fixed all the porcupine spines that they broke last time and reintroduced the snow goose that I know you liked. You used to say it was creepy parading past the trophy heads – it almost felt like being watched. Now the buffalo rolls his eyes as you go to stroke his nose and I say it’s alright. And the hawk holds her wings in an unsubtle hint to do something, anything. But I might just stand lifeless right here by the fallow deer – matching unnatural stances and looks of untameable fear. Until, faced with raised hands for a skua feather souvenir, I know I’ve let hometime draw too near.
