Rolled up wire
on a dried-out post
wire red from rust
and coiled in a loop
left there by
some old cowboy
who rusted
out
just like the fence
the old cowboy's gone
but his coil's still
there
a reminder of him
and bygone days
his life spent
within
the wires
that bound him
like the steers he kept
every so often
some steers
got out
he, by god
never did.
