Cowboy II
Complete the poem
Laying down in the tall grass
Looking at a silver maple
While a cat walks up to us
When the ice runs out
We fill the tray up
Complete the body
Near a prairie’s edge
Near a Live Oak branching
Where a breeze can find us
The moon is resting in a pendant
The moon is cool and grey
The moon is just far enough
The moon is the only sound
Connect the landmarks
Fall into the tall grass
Pull our caps down low
While the day leaves us
When the ice runs out
We fill the tray up
When the work is done
We name the mountains
We complete the poem
We complete the body
We hear the moon rise
We hear the cat walk up to us
