geese coming
in low over the treetops
. . . take 'em

off season
window shopping for a new
pickup truck

the ribs
of the deer
in spring

first robins -
up in the pastures
woodcock

March twilight
sniffing around the hen house
the first fox of spring

evening sun
somewhere in the brush
a woodcock peents

a rope dangles
from an empty tree stand -
spring woods

season's end -
in the Penny Saver
guns for sale

looking ahead
on the calendar to
October
