Cowboy
cowboy, I see
you pick yourself up after one
more person drops you.
cowboy, I hear
you apologize for someone
else’s transgressions.
cowboy, I smell
you in the dark of my
room, and I miss
your heat.
cowboy, I taste
the sadness in your mouth.
cowboy, I feel
the ache in your heart
but I will be the cure.
