Texas Sky


Suppose. Suppose.
Out in Texas where the sky is so high
And so close; close enough to touch, but far
Enough away you continue to find
Yourself moving. I was left not knowing
Who or what I was.

There, where windmill fields
Slice white against the blue and I half expect
To see Don Quixote ride by…
I open my eyes to see the sun set
In the western sky;
To notice flannel
Silhouettes of my boyhood dreams, watching
Me pass by, from a weather beaten porch.
With a dog smiling at their calico sides.
Suppose. Suppose. This is where I came to be.
