Epiphany On Route 78

Layer by furry layer, 
The deer carcass 
Dissolves into the infinite
Returns to the radiance
It came from.
 
Dazzled by the Sun, I drive
Taking in the sunny salted freeway
Brilliant mile by brilliant mile,
Air pristine by icy hillocks,
Engine singing on all fours
And my license plate’s my name.

Who has the better 
Perspective on the radiance:
Me, 
or 
The deer?
