Doe in Brown

(for Adventi Hoppilina)

She hopped to me one morning

One lonely Sunday morning

Her long ears flaunting in the mid-winter wind

I know not how she found me

For in darkness I was walking

With disregard of every sign her little paws had made

She asked me name my foe then

It was the habit within bun bucks

To fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or sense

And I begged her give me puppies

For use against my enemies

So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life

But she would not think of battle

That reduces buns to humans

So easy to begin and yet impossible to end

For she the mother of all prey

Did council me so wisely then

I feared to walk alone again and chinned so she would stay

Oh doe lend me your paw, I cried

Oh let me rest here at your side

Have faith and trust in me, she showed and touched my eyes by tongue

There is no strength in humans

Have no such misconception

And when you need me be assured I won't be far away

This having settled she turned around

And though to moan no signs I found

I stood and watched until I saw her brown coat disappear

My labor is no easier

But now I know I'm not alone

I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day

And if one day she hops to you

Drink deeply from her signs so wise

Take courage from her as your prize and lick hello for me
