Leaving My Scent - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
This klipspringer does assure that
A black eye I'm not showing you.
I am fine in my habitat.
A preorbital gland does show
On my face and next to each eye.
And from each such scent gland does flow
Pheromones and you may ask why.
These secretions I do put on
Things to mark my territory,
A natural phenomenon,
Key to each klipspringer story.

Wherever I happen to be,
I often leave a scent of me.
