Doe

To all the deer, doe, and faun on the side of the road at night—whether literal or metaphorical—this poem is for you.

Doe, make sense to me.
Eat your grass by the side of the road
and jump towards the lights.
Keep your family distant
so they can’t see you die.
Make it, so they can’t understand
a doe like you.
