Six shooter, callous fucker
robbed another saloon with a grin
and one holy bullet
His visage was known all around, it was often spoken
‘…already trembling at his silhouetted boots of spanish leather
about to fuck our settlement over to hades-hell and back again.
Embroidered chaos at six foot seven weighs as much as a pick up truck,
all muscle, mystique
the charm of powerful luck’
With his one bullet remaining in his stolen silver shooter
he rode off across the night’s sky, ready to dine on a haven of bourbon, splendour and honky tonk whores…
Across the tumbleweeds and cactus separating images of time and memory
his trained ear caught the sound
of another near
but to turn around
was to see
no one surrounding he
but the suspect mystery of a vagabond unfound…
Revelling in the idea of his fragmented stories of the making…
‘To hear the clank of pre-prohibition booze dangle from his belt
was to say goodnight, unable to think twice
dropped to the floor by the devils device’
Then I always jaunt my stetson to the angle of righteousness…
