Those Who No-one Listens For, Listen the Most
The deer creeps out from the thicket to the field.
I didn't see it was a deer until it moved, a few seconds
after that a female walked out behind the male.
Both were hungry. The grass more important
than the surroundings. I was many metres away and coughed,
they didn't even raise an ear. A crow squawked
and their ears stood tall, rotating for news.
They listen to the birds, how we listen to phones, traffic
alarms, sirens. Nothing is listening for the deer.
I stood still on the path watching the beauty
of a necessary language
that had been used long before it could be spoken of.

It's worth more than it's not worth. Confuse myself sometimes. Cheers for the thoughts, saxman.

"Nothing is listening for the deer."
Obvious, but easily overlooked, this thought. Like it.
This is a run-on sentence: I didn't see it was a deer until it moved, a few seconds
after that a female walked out behind the male.
Suggest this: I didn't see it was a deer until it moved. A few seconds
after that, a female walked out behind the male.
The grass more important
than the surroundings. This sentence lacks a verb ("the grass was"?) - I only point out the above because you have structured it with proper grammar, capitals, punctuation etc. Minor inaccuracies, no biggie, it's a good write, just some people want feedback, blah blah *goes off grumbling*

You know I love you for it.
This wasn't intended to create much of a narrative, but to just state and lay what's happening down. Missing verb is just my tongue. Full stops are severely neglected in poetry, and life. I've written crisp poetry. Loads of it. Time to be myself and make an organised mess.
Thanks for the caring comment, Atakti. I'll ponder what you said regardless.
