Farmer’s boy


Easier
to drift off as the cowboy
Settle back
without a time to capture

Young boys, racing towards youth
Young men
blinded with lovelorn fractures

Easier
to drift off as the cowboy
Settle back
without a time to capture

Young blood, given for a truth
Teardrop floods
aching; set aside the tractors

Easier
to drift off as the cowboy
Settle back
without a time to capture
