I Spotted A Deer Near Six Eighty
by Ashok Niyogi

Smack in the middle
of the cul-de-sac
winding up
black
through yellow brown hills
what do you wait for
ears perked up
hazel eyes
shapely ankle quivering hind
alone in the setting sun
run
this anaconda of cars
will eat you up
it slithers by
on six eighty

but with nightfall
it will sin
smell the gasoline
it will sense
your throbbing heart
under spotted skin
and turn your way

before you can turn away
like virtue does
and look at me
with appealing eyes
irresistible eyes
even as
I melt in slanting rays
and in liquid form
conjure ways
of mingling
with a waterfall
to thrash and crash
into the anonymity
of river ways
that flow
under scattered cloud
into the bay

Do not stay
deer
run away
Ashok Niyogi
