Portrait of a Desparado
The sun shifts
He moves his feet
His enemies draw
Their death they meet

His eyes observe
Stricken life
Exposed by bullet
Or by his knife

His flat brimmed hat
Belt slung low
Coat dust brown
His weapons on show

He smiles politely
Not seeming to try
Traversing bloodied soil
Perhaps never to die
