thinning the herd

the hunt is on.
it's time
to thin the herd
so close
to the highway.
the plaid men in green and
red,
leaf colored
coats and hats,
are in the trees
with bow
and arrows.
bearded and quiet
they chew on on beef jerky,
sip
from a flask
while sitting cold
in their stands
waiting patiently for
the slow grey
deer
to appear and bend
for a final
sip
at the silver stream
they walk in.
