Eye to Eye

Buck at Sunset, January 2021
Brenham, Texas

 

We gazed eye to eye
instinctive caution rippled 
and then, strange kinship



* I was returning from a walk in the woods when I came upon this beautiful buck at the feeder. We stared face to face for several minutes. He startled once and ran, but slowly made his way back. We were in each other's presence for almost an hour - waiting each other out and curious.
