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

Somehow, I didn't imagine the fawn having such polite thoughts. ;-) Nice one :-)
