after the day is gone
they come out,
very few men follow,
although it is not right
but do they care??
for them it is not necessary
for them it is a sport,
no, they do not care.
snap, their light goes on,
the deer freeze
momentarily paralyzed,
then bang!!
one falls, the rest run,
bounding away
over the fences
that we cannot see,
disappearing into the night.
but the men do not care,
the deer will be back.
