Sanctuary, Patricia Monaghan
[ID: YOUNG DEER / At the sharp bend in the forest path / where I had seen her with her mother / she was there, all gangly adolescence / and liquid eyes and high white tail, / but alone, it being the time of year / when deer send forth their young / and start the cycle over: a gray shadow / of solitude barely visible in the trees, / she stared at me. I stared back at her. / The moment was as still as death. / Then I put my hands atop my head / to mimic ears, and waved at her. / She started. I thought she would run. / And she did. But not away—towards me— / I think now I saw a hungry urgency / about her eyes, a startled longing, or / perhaps I just imagined that I recognized / a common yearning. She stopped short / a few yards from me, looked at me / sidewides, one great dark eye filling / with recognition. A shudder. Then / she was gone, tail white in the brush. / But then she turned again and stared. / And stood quite still, as I did, and then / took a dozen dainty steps towards me / until she stood, breathing hard, not / ten feet away. If I thought I understood / what had brought her near before— / an orphan's sharp wild hope—everything / was alien this time, I have no idea why / she chose to come back and stand staring / at me once she knew I was a stranger. / It was something about love, I think. / Something about walking through fear.]

“Some people hate the thought of being alone. I’m not like that. I love my solitude. I’m kind to myself. My feelings don’t get hurt. My energy’s not leeched. And it’s very peaceful.”

“One day, whether you are 14, 28 or 65, you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die. However, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find - is they are not always with whom we spend our lives.”

— Beau Taplin, Hunting Season

:(

I don't think you ever wanted to know me.

Not the way I wanted to know you.
