Crescent Moon Cowboy Poem
Haven’t slept good
since the last moon’s rind
grabbed Venus and I,
unawares, from behind.
Nobody gets
everything I see,
but that horseshoe sure kicked
the feet out from under me.
By the time I’m done cryin’
without you black and blue,
in a fortnight I’ll forget,
by then, you’ll be “new”.
Whoever said absence makes
the heart grow fonder
never felt your bow
shoot their world wide asunder.

Take the arrows because if used right they can sew a reality back into one complete piece.
ReplyDeletewhat a stunning view of the moon this.
ReplyDeleteGood cowboy lyrics. I like the line about the moon's rine grabbing Venus and you from behind.
