Past Lives

She wept along time ago

for this stranger...

this crazy episodic villain

of a modern day cowboy

his heat radiated 

like a pulsing light of confidence

he carried himself proudly

but with an aura of the unknown

a dangerous

mysterious

serious enigma of a manly mind

she kept to herself

and avoided the eyes

she kept him guessing

until the very end,

and he often loved to guess

She wept a long long time ago

for this stranger...

this helplessly recognizable ghost

this addiction to identifiable odds

this modern man of the hunt
