fawn

Morning sky was sunny and then grey as we continued down the steel grey highway. Hawks, breasts full, sitting at tips of trees. A wild turkey passing in front of our windshield. Teasels letting slip the fawn scavenging wintered earth for food. Unblinking the fawn stood and watched me, watching him/ her. A raised right foot as if readying itself to sprint off into the thick of woods. Driving away I turn to see the fawn watching before running into the safety of it's home.
