gunstock
all scratched up
my hands

a grouse flushes
and flies down the creekbed
autumn woods -
on the footbridge I pause
as a silent owl follows ...

dried brown grass
chevron flight of geese
calling out ...

after waiting . . .
the surprise of seeing
a deer

deer stand
deep in the swamp -
a cat meows

children
blowing a goose call
in a duck blind

the cold
in my fingers -
deer stand

wind shift
the decision to move
decoys

Thanksgiving rain
the duck blind roof
keeps us dry

unaware of the gun
in the autumn rain...
deer

in the swamp
covered in leaves
a lawn chair
darkening afternoon
sitting watching for deer

in falling snow
a fawn browses alone -
autumn dusk

cold Christmas morning
the dog's bell falls
silent

year's end
a tender young duck
on the grill

the steam rising
from a dead deer

in the loneliest
corner of the covert -
grouse feathers

Original apes
autumnal climb into trees
meat hanging from limbs
