Instead of walking right in to the thing,
take a minute, breathe, have a look around.
This morning I saw three huge doe in the forest.
They didn't seem too afraid when they heard me.
Their gentle lope reminded me of slow motion footage from a nature show
the long flapping cotton like tails standing at attention
Jack and Pig didn't see them, but instead flushed a covey of meadowlarks.
Little brown birds flying in unison darting in waves to the right and left in perfect time
3 miles in the cold up and down the trails till the crows saw me
One crow in a tree saw us and alerted the other crows
They cawed, telling where I was
Messengers determined to make sure everyone knew
