A COWBOY DREAMS


Errant grit burrows into bandana folds.
A lone cowboy wrangles down
distant thoughts too vacant
to be told
as he gazes over
a gently undulating horizon
speckled with bovine movement.
A simple pleasure awaits
over stamped steel plates
warm with overcooked stew
and a chunk of rough bread
to sop up juicy stories
and tomorrow's droving.
Dragged out and weary
he sidles up to a worn bedroll
to burn the breeze
in slumber's head.
