Fawning Season

Fawning season, guardians and their kin

Frolicking and fleeing by incisors’ skin

Following your mother, trusting in her path

My roadblock stops you in your tracks

She leapt away, you had to stay

I’m sure she called out all she could

Her babe is lost and when you lose your spots

Would you know her if you met her in the woods

Fawning season, ease up on the gas

There is no reason we should’ve come to pass

Coming out of nowhere, caught up in the light

You froze and now you’ve got to fight

Are you healing, I’m still reeling

Wondering whether I did all I could

Your hoofbeats sound my heartbeats

But would you know me if you met me in the woods
