Dear Heart

In the wild a lone deer A sound that no other human can hear The deer does not know that I am watching from a safe distance The lone deer leaps in the air and run quickly through the meadow I thought something was chasing the lone deer but the area is protected From predators except for man who hunts the deer in the late early winter Park preserver and neighboring communities say that the deer need to be culled Because they destroy the habitat A long high pitched sound like a child crying is heard in the center of the meadow I stand on a park bench because I thought a child was in trouble But I could not see anyone and I am nervous because I could not see what I could hear The sound was like blood curdling The sound was like a warning But no other humans could hear the sound The sound was from the dear’s heart Do you believe
