for Beck
two cowboy poems
Hi-Lonesome
She needs a cowboy, a big-hearted man,
To ride into her life, gather her up,
Knock those demons out of her head.
There's a buckaroo
Riding the Hi-Lonesome plain tonight
And he's looking for her.
They'll need some magic, it's vast,
But it's quiet—and two hearts
Beating as one sound like thunder.
The Lonesome Cowboy
Listening to AM
Because that's all there is,
In the truck, alone, driving country roads.
Here comes that Ricky Nelson song,
About a garden party he attended with regret,
For the hundredth goddamn time.
I am, without a doubt,
The loneliest goddamn cowboy
In the state of Colorado.
— Hanque O
