Startled

Doe.
A deer.
A female deer.
Still as a statue;
eyes, gentle
like deep pools of water.
Picture-perfect stance;
slow yet fleeting,
like a dream.

Beauty like this
must be approached with caution.

Slow
and steady.
Fragile. Handle
with care.
Like carrying a Ming Dynasty vase
across a tightrope.

One
wrong
move
and---

Crack!

There goes my prey.
