The Deer (JG)

Outside the window

a deer bends to the grass, 

opens its mouth, 

bites the brown grass 

waiting there for spring.


I want to say I’m waiting too, 

waiting for some spring, 

waiting for the day 

like no other day, 

but those are lost somewhere, 

lost in memory, 

a locked room.


The deer hears me 

behind the window and looks up.  

His eyes see me, see everything.  

He turns his head and moves

further down the hill.
