My Deer
Nov 4 · 1 min read
Gentle as a deer
I wait
for the right moment
— the peaceful moment —
to commit
to spring out of this life
with the force of four legs
long and lean
built for this
silent take-off
shedding indecision
under my cloven hoof
pointing and shooting — my eyes
are closed
and I see
by the light in me
to the light of my next destination.
