Jo Bien Poet Free verse

Refuge

watching
a cowboy on the ridge
hat pulled low, he does approach
silhouetted against the darkening sky
shelter sought from the monsoon

scaling
the cowboy spans my wall
jumping with ease my barriers
all within now inside out
graceful are the rider's moves

promise
something never offered
refuge only from lightning and thunder
taking more than what he brought
the cowboy rides out after the storm
