The Well-Trained Palomino


Again, today,
the cowboy will close
his eyes 
and listen to the hooves
of wild horses 
all around him

knowing that 
his well-trained palomino 
will take him home
like a lover
who knows
what his lust wants—
 
knows the way to him,
through the black covers 
of that dark room—

even as the returning
creates and then destroys the 
greening prairie, the chambray wind.

    I took a while to get that rhythm right. Thanks for noticing.
