Cowboys and angels
Cowboys and angels
Fill the night
In this small Idaho town
In the middle of somewhere.
Tunes drift in waves
From the jukebox and the light
Of the moon filters down
Filament by filament.
I travel down the dirt-sodden
Path with you always married
To my eyes.
Dissected shadows
Dissected shadows linger
On the rock wall near
The sea’s edge.
The seagulls hover like
Grey kites.
Sparrows dissolve like
Rain under a dust of wings.
It feels like tomorrow will
Never arrive.
Red ruby fire
Out of your eyes I saw
The light slide and gather
In a burst of rays –
Red ruby fire glints
So unwavering,
So sure,
So unceremoniously as
If it were meant to be.
I hold this fire in my
Mind’s eye and hope
Your eyes will always
Glint in unwavering light,
Spark a fire in the dark,
Speak to me in the cold hours
Of the dawn.
