John Caddy's Morning Earth
  September 2005


We all are fawns sometimes, 
awkward and alone.
Unsure is fawn, legs too long, ears 
tilting to each sound.
A swirl of leaf will start a run,
but back the fawn will come,
sniff the leaves and learn
not everything that moves will harm. 
Remember knobby knees? 
Fawn will have no memories 
of mirrors never seen.
Fawn still wakes within us when
we fear for all the gangly young.
