maisie - Doe

Doe
.
There is a doe caught in relief 
against snow, caught in glare 
as the car rounds a square 
into darkness.
....
Outlined 
....
a cut out of paper 3-d
curled at the edges I see
where time has ragged
still life in a diorama, 
......
a flaw
in the system, something flagged
that is there but shouldn't be
....
She gnaws ever
ever
hungry for life.
