Spring by Mary Kipps

 

Anthony

Spring


They bound from the woods,

two, three, four Virginia doe,

their signature white tails

at full flag as they run,

one after the other, 

across the meadow.


The last deer in line

suddenly kicks out her hooves 

and leaps into the air,

her ebullience on this first

clement Sunday morning 

mirroring mine.
