Hearing

nursing her fawn
the doe’s ears detect
the rustling of mice

Drifting

silent deer glide
among the willows at the marsh
layers of fog drifting

flap at the deer, scarecrow
scare them away — those rodents
too beautiful to shoot

Pronghorn Antelope

scenic drive enhanced
herd of pronghorn antelope
open my eyes to grace

Deer cross our yard
silent as time they drift off
nibbling as they go
