calming the frightened deer – v2


eyes of our clients
panic in the hallway
steps of the court
as an animal, a deer
caught in the woods
nowhere to run
wolves on the hunt

not knowing what to do
only wanting to run
calming frightened deer
to bring them back
regaining some composure
some semblance they are human
supposedly governed

by reason, by thought
yet for an instant propelled
back eons of life, ancient
returning to a more primitive state
where law has no meaning
not knowing what to do
only wanting to run
