Powerless





dainty doe

smudge of brown 

in a green alfalfa sea


back: forest, water, rest, shade, shelter, safety


forward: suburbia, asphalt, cars, dogs, humans, danger


I watch

   see a slender leg lift

   take tentative steps

   towards disaster


powerless to change the outcome,

wisdom demands


I turn away 

   having witnessed

   the death of 

   too many beautiful things

   too many times before
