The Fawn
you disturbed the wild geese as your truck
rushed out of the drive way my heart panted
as I noticed the peeling logo on the side
of the truck there were old ripped decals
and expired fishing permits my eyes turned red
piercing the glimmering headlights
I never even noticed how close you were
to my white tail reflecting underneath my brown coat
I read the logo while raising my head
from the soiled stain road it read bait and tackle
pink salmon reels hunting season
on brown bucks with white tails
