The Hunter’s Wife
1
She looks out the window
the snow is falling
her husband went hunting for elk
the boy went along too
a neighbor thinks he saw them at Red Hill
she hasn’t seen the sun all day.
2
She was out in the woods
gathering pine nuts
and there
under a tree
was a fawn
the fawn said
- Tie me up. –
3
The men left her in camp for the day
a wounded buck
charged right into the fire
she hit him over the head with a frying pan.
