Autumn In Tennessee

October come with its

shades of orange 

September ends
Harvest 	moon

 once again

Soon

Silence in the			
Shushed 
Smokehouse

  Crackle of a hunters boot

Through the trees
Puffing and pumping

Mixed with clouds of hot air
A fawn and doe chase 

The wind lighter

Hillsides shadowed 
Red and brown 

A gunshot
Echoed in cool grey skies

Burnt to the lungs
Sound of birds 

leaving south

In time for tobacco
Dried Blood
