A Sudden Deer by David McLean

here comes the instant, a sudden deer
crashing through branches,
clumsier than expected

and it is sudden as animals are,
as it returns forever
through the one body,

you as if inside me.
here comes the instant, a sudden deer
to hang in time, a second forever,

because of life and you,
suddenly another nothing in me, instants
better than any eternity
