THE HUNTING BLIND

THE HUNTING BLIND

Seems like a strange name

Isn’t it the prey
that we’re wanting to be blind

The deer in grace and beauty
unable to detect
behind the brown green screen

The man with his guns
and a paper in his hand
given to him by another man

Brown eyes soft in gratitude she bows
to the gift of scattered corn

Maybe it is a good name after all

Maybe it really is the hunter who can’t see
