Cowboys Aren’t Supposed to Cry
Just so you know,
cowboys aren’t supposed to cry.
But the muscle and magic of
our love saddles me
with a vulnerable weakness I embrace.
In my tears I taste life
as it’s meant to be lived,
a complex cocktail complete
with a rich accompaniment of
sorrow and suffering.
Background poem for the novel, “The Dangling Conversation.” Kyle knows he’s being pathetic but to win Nadia back, it’s worth it.
