the cowboy was feeling silly
out on the town looking for
a rambunctious bronking filly
his days worked fast
but felt so long
the nights out on the prairie
were hauntingly cold
but feel so lonely
the dead sounds echoing
the rolling plains
silent to all derelict movement
mooned eyed critters
creapy crawling about the feet
not the right kind of
slithering serpent, needed for body heat
the sun in all its glorious
golden hues sibilate a unity in colors
waking the unforgiving land
hours behind his
crepuscular sunbaked skin
canvassed in leather scars
riding out from the threshold fears
in the jilted hearts of
the Apache's political affairs
knowing the doted line
has never been the friend
to a chicken scratch man
his side bar thoughts
meant to entertain
adjacent to moseying the dusty trail
tailgating a herd of heifer ***
thirsty for a tall wide bottomed glass
filled to the top less of a lid
with a slow ***** pour
hiking a short skirt
bridled to prance around
up and down
the patina fantasies
gidding up in a cowboys mind
going bucking wild
burning his brand for stud
