~
I didn’t see her at first
the frolicy bounding yearlings
had my attention~
When I looked back to the south
I was stricken
her hunched straining body
ears frantically twitching
one large black eye
fixed ~
she must have just begun
her morning ritual
as she kept
going ~
I have never claimed to be the most
mature man
so this spectacle
made me laugh
my noise added to her
rigidity
which inspired more
uproarious laughter ~
duty complete
she flipped a large
white tail
and cast a disgusted glace
back at me
not once or
even twice
but three separate looks ~
the third was more than
I could bare
so I shouted out
across an empty field
to one indignant doe
a heartfelt apology ~
