November Sunset

hunters are long gone
remaining deer are safe
meadow is still in shock from the gunplay

november sunset is a relief
no more loud noises
no more death

bam!
spoken too soon

My dad who had over 100 guns used to explain if they did not "weed the deer out, disease would get them". Eye roll.

I'm afraid so, Caren. And there's all those fireworks to go yet.
