Through the Eyes of Prey

Spinning, startled, I fall Falling, Bleeding, Dying How did this happen? I was fine seconds before Eating, Listening, Breathing A simple minded doe, Just living in the woods A target on my back The moment I left the clearing I knew something was wrong I felt as if I was being watched, and slowly took a step It was too late. Now I see the hunter coming for my dying carcass I am lying in the same dirt, on which I was first born As I take my final breaths I see the hunger in his eyes, and the malice in his heart He looks down at me, laughs, and pulls the trigger.
