Hunter Retired
Listen to poem:
Hunter Retired
David J Walker
For me it was the geese
Returning from Canada
Honking in a grand parade
A promenade from the
Playa lakes to
The nearby grain fields
A sudden reminder that
He would no longer
Be here to feed them
as he had done for
nearly 60 years
Would they look for the
White-haired man living
Behind the lake with
daily scoops of corn
The retired hunter sparing
No expense to feed his prey
Last year
He flew away
And joined them
