Ancient Shores
Kathy Irvine
Just like your vagrant tumbleweeds,
recollections of you drift
through my thoughts.
You were handsome
as your wind burned cowboys
with sagebrush collar
worn against a craggy jaw.
You took me to high places where you
revealed a ravaged past,
and why you wear spines and armor plates
without apology.
Your moody sands etched a deeper truth
in my face. Still, in the shady embrace
of your cottonwood canyons I was renewed.
And, in purple evenings with moon as bold as day.
you gave me fortunes in the stars.
You were a first kiss.
But, tomorrow is what I dream.
'Till we meet again, Owyhee.
