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
