Dead Man's Song

PART TWO

SEASON OF THE WOLF

Early morning, October 3rd, to sunset, October 7th

There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.

—Ernest Hemingway,] “On the Blue Water” Esquire, April 1935

Wolf comes hunting, pale moon overhead Big gray wolf comes hunting, blood moon overhead Better lock your doors, better say your prayers ’Cause the wolf’s come hunting…hunting for your child.

—Oren Morse, Bad Moon Blues
