A Poem by Marian Elizabeth

She looked at the deer.

The antlers.

Sharp. Unforgiving.

She just wanted a baby.

In the midst of a cold season.

Summer can sometimes be cold.

Not winter.

Unknown season.

One of the three counterparts.

Male. The deer.

She wanted a baby.

Drinking from a mug.

Chocolate perhaps?

Maybe alcohol.

Maybe both.

The deer walked among tall grass.

She wanted a baby.

Not a baby; a child.

Are they the same?

One turns into the other?

Does a man turn into a child?

The deer leaves, worried.

Concerned with a mate or river currents.

He comes, wearing a sweater.

Are you alright?

Out of shame she says of course.

Or for the sake of a beast called pride.

I am well and you?

I am about to fix you breakfast.

Gladly she says and blinks.

The deer disappears.

Into the forest of a hope.

'Out of shame she says of course. ~ Or for the sake of a beast called pride.~ I am well and you? ~ I am about to fix you breakfast. ~ Gladly she says'

Seems as if you've taken paintings from a book and placed them where they don't belong yet... make the words electrifying! You've created two views, two creatures, two desires and wrapped them fallibility. Your style of writing here, the short phrases, the to-ing and fro-ing of male/female creates a peaceful battle of wills.. wants..
