I have found a form for my grief in the memory of a young deer

I glimpsed by the side of the road half destroyed half poised

to make a leap.

The snow held in place its shock

at being collapsed back into the earth while yet to know

what it was here for or what needed to be done.

Did you think the earth had taken hold

the day you pulled off the road and walked away from your wife

and four children as if we stopped your breath?

All we could do was line up to watch you disappear.

Do I have to stand there forever while my body gives way

as it did in the years in which you could not stop leaving?

Will you stop leaving now?
