Long Lassos Poems

   A celestial dance, infinite grace
in the grandeur of 
ancient yearned place.
A Red Giant lassos 
his pearly bride,
keeps her from roaming the desert face.
A vow is exchanged, a cosmic bond living, 
alive with...

Jenna lived in rural Wyoming lands,
where grass rolled over small ridges and buttes,
a small town way out in the cow country,
where the ranchers still throw lassos in loops.

She was driving out to see her boyfriend,

It’s good to be a cowboy,
just ask my old friend Dane,
who spends his days riding
across the Texas plains,

After a long week it is Friday,
and that means it’s time to go
to a corral twenty minutes off,

To disentangle it.
That is their faces

A tractor trailer with slats and moos
pulls up at a city slaughterhouse.
The driver pulls the wrong lever

Woman,

She lassos her tongue around minds
creating space in these harden times
she licks at the wounds 
she culls up the glass
a virescent glow that forever will last

She holds off the pain
with a sacred of verse

Roy Rogers and Red Ryder rode on that black and white stage—
It was the best of times, to be a kid of any age.

Gene Autry, Hopalong Cassidy – that Durango Kid—
They kept us shootin’ outlaws...
