Timothy-

I have always admired your poetry and this piece is another that makes me speechless. You have allowed my brain to freeze up with all of the angles I can go with this.. and I admire that! The Elk is a symbol for life I am assuming... and It just allows me to feel comforted in so many ways.... very nice!

I assume that you have personified an 'elk' to show the character of the person you are talking about? I don't know, but this made me feel that it's about someone who drinks much and is not able to stop.

This was brilliant.
a sea of talent.
5/5 brother
