Bravado
is a weak wordÂ
its meaning painted on
rocks john wayne had
it i'm told that
jesus had it in
spades running a dancing
school for angels across
prairies of abandon
quiet hours where every
heart becomes its own
ghost town words take
on their own meaning
we wear life like
a warmer version of
death as the sun
creeps across the plains
and into the back
of our throat
