May 31: Visitor

When a co-worker called me over to the window, "Quick!" I thought I was going to catch sight of some unusual bird. Instead I was surprised to see a large doe standing right outside our office. She seemed to catch sight of our movement inside and flicked away, but we were able to track her as she ran past a row of office windows, and later, wandered around the other side of the building. We were all struck by her long graceful neck and the speed with which she could make her large body disappear so quickly and utterly.
 
We hoped to see you
leap over the fence. Instead
you vanished in trees.
