Cowboy Dreams
Gentle flicker hypnotises
Chest and chin attract
Like magnets
The door swings open
My new boots on the planks
Echo
Like gunshots down the silent street
Matchhead flares and sputters
Newborn flame flutters precariously
Until cupped by miniature hands
The little man reaches up to my cheroot
"What did you say your name was again?"
Tongue of heat wavering nervously
Attracted to the tobacco
Yet unsure
Until I draw it in
"I didn't" I reply
And turn away
Into light
White
Noise
And a sore neck in the moring
