Moment at the Fence
white tail flipped up
nice
set
of antlers
curious
about
the white dog
on other side
of the fence
stag
so close
then gone
as if the deer
just vanished
as if
it was never there
my imagination
retains
the momentum
of magic
the moment
the muse
snapped
the shot
it was the only way
because
there was no time
to waste
my heart racing
whilst my husband slept
as soon as I made my move
the impetus was interrupted
who knows which way hither
he went
or thither
leapt
the neighbor-dog’s not telling
