" Grazes the Higher Slopes "
by Suzán Jiván
Grazes the higher slopes
during the dry season
polygamous browser
exclusive harem
dark facial blaze
stilettos rising
directly over eyes
bare glandular patch
bachelor herd
female herd
large reserves
interspersed
mineral licks
knock kneed
rump, limbs
chin, lips
remotest regions
captive breeding
small dewlap at jaw
black garter on foreleg
horns equally long
highly nomadic
water-bearing
receptive female
faint ruddy flank
rained and retreated
former range
long narrow face
loping along
migratory
high shouldered
long glossy coat
dark shadow
Chad to Sudan
Kenya to Tanzania
forming bracket shapes
blotches
upper forelegs
greatly elongated
normal forehead
offspring born
high-fiber
low protein grass
large aggregates
grading into pale flanks
deep chest
long trim legs
pronounced sheen
uniform weak
select green leaf
herds of yearlings
once teeming...
