Default We'll Be Running

We'll Be Running

My calendar says it is autumn.
But the trees aren't turning,
The leaves aren't falling,
It's too damn hot to go hunting.

Like my lazy dog I'm dreaming;
Those red and yellow hills,
And twilight whippoorwills;
A harvest moon reborn,
My hunter's haunting horn.

She whimpers in her sleep,
I smile and scratch her ears;
Don't fret old girl, it won't be long,
Raccoons will raid the Indian corn;
Autumn will come, and we'll be running.


Along the Osage, I'm hoping.
