Letter to a Doe

Down the street

Where corn used to grow

96 Nuclear eyes

Against hardened snow

I’ve heard your voice

Night runner

In the butt of my skull

Asking, at the end of each road:

“…Would you spare a man… all his sin…knowing that he killed your kin?”

And the stars bent low.

I would pray.

I love this so much! You've really broken my heart with this, such a sore topic with me being from the country side. But poems are always beautiful involving such a vulnerable animal.

Well done!
