A Deer is Not Always a Deer

A deer is not always a deer
A hunter is not always hunted
Enamel on copper is not always a miniature
She is not always bequeathed
Rust is not always a scab
Gold is not always ringed by a green sea
Oxidation is not always a ghost
We are not always buried
One gold disc is not always a spangle
The other is not always lost
A cross is not always Christ
The mantle is not always deer
The white wolf could be a deer
Outstretched arms are not always beseeching
Thirty-four suns are not always a searchlight
Beautiful men are not always a problem
A slaughter-welp is not always blinking
A passageway does not always have fifty exits
My head is not always like the moon
My spine is not always studded with piano keys
My hide is not always nipped
The doubleness is not always plural
The riddle is not always a stranger
The violet is not always a witness
The human voices are not always human
The leader is not always the size of a pony
Tomorrow is not always a pair of feathery wings.
