Dappled

The path is thin, the land high,
tree lines and rocky outcrops
lean into each other.

My dog  bounces away,
she's found some dappled deer; spooked
they run across my trace.

It’s another Smoky Mountain moment,
a dance-stepping poem
framed by shafts of sunlight.

A dog, and a bunch of white tails,
their softly pixelated images,
filtering across my eyed,

I sense an angel looking over my shoulder
she also is holding a camera.
