gold

there are three kinds of gold,

and they each have their worth:

there’s gold in the sky

and there’s gold in the earth,

but the third kind of gold’s

neither metal nor art–

it’s the kind you may find

in a heart

Skittles?

Every time I see a doe out this way, near Stephanie’s place, I wonder if it could be Skittles. After all, we never did find out if she perished in that blizzard last winter or just found her place with her own kind and never looked back. I want to call out her name to see if I get a reaction from any of them, but she probably wouldn’t recognize me anymore. I pray she’s okay.

skittles, did you ever find

your rightful place among your kind?

or did you fall beneath the snow

to be with mom? we’ll never know!
