The cowgirl and the dude




Across the street strode the young,
blazing blond, cowgirl.
I couldn’t help noticing
her long, strong, prairie-burned, legs
above the tops of her scuffled boots
and below the fringe of her jean cutoffs.
Her unbuttoned red bandana shirt
billowed in the Kansas wind
over a white T.
Git along, little doggies –
her cattle were nowhere in sight,
but I am certain she caught up with them
after she vanished
from my sun-shot squint.
