Fawn

It’s like someone picked me up Spun me around and uncovered my innocent eyes I’m dizzy I’m still recovering I’m still recouping I’m a newborn fawn, blinking in this bright sunlight that bathes me While I still struggle to stand on my feeble limbs This is all so foreign So unfamiliar, so novel, so strange Eventually my clumsy feet will learn how to stand on this slippery ground And eventually, my blinking eyes will learn to drink in his majesty for what it’s worth But for now I’m content with staring up at him Him staring down at me And both of us knowing we will be suspended in this surreal galaxy for at least a short while Just absorbing each other’s exhaled vapors And gazing at the stars in each other’s eyes Hoping they never die out
