Vaquero


Vaquero

your hat
high crowning
wide-brimmed
shade from the sun

your trousers
close-fitting denim
charting & guarding
your masculine form

atop a potent steed
spurs stand at attention
as your rope wrangle cattle

a dusty dance
a hurried waltz

dry climate
sparse sward

even in

colder conditions
your penchant for
stealing soft hearts

persists

from barstool
to barnyard

ensnared

by your sad songs
by your blue eyes

cowboy

mounted chivalry
straddling coolness

bring it on home to me

**

This is what happens when you listen to Kenny Chesney against your will.  For those of you with a penchant for the cunning ways of cowboys, this is for you.

Thirsty Thursday!

In propinquity,
Nic
