Fog-grey paint on wood… Sentry! Imprisons willing hostage… Safe! It jars - jams handle door to floor Uterine prison seals hermetic hermit The fawn as naked innocent born. Cow mother forages for food… To earn! Boy buck lay prone; ears twitch. Waiting to exhale. Wolf pants foul - turn handle - entry permit? On eves gone by wolf violates fawn. Cow mother oblivious in her providing! Crept in! Kneeled! As fawn feigned sleep… Lupus leered, licked - abused like prey This night young deer escapes the hunt Lays quiet, tremulous. Wets itself! Chair holds! Patriarchal coward creeps back to fetid lair Brief reprieve? Grow strong - pray another day! ©pofacedpoetry – Billy Reynard-Bowness (2018) – All rights reserved

THE CHAIR
