Sad Cowboy
@mekacheval.bsky.social
Yee-haw (softly)
The stars have gone south
The horses have turned their backs
Quiet but for screams

Cowboy with no cows
We knew it’d end up here
Alone on the range
February 28, 2025 at 4:32 AM
Where do cowboys go
When home doesn’t feel like home
When hopes all move on

Tired cowboy has night watch

The heavens above
In front, cattle stilled by sleep.
I long to count sheep

Cowboy find the owners of his new companion, returns to his solitary watch.

What was lost now found.
The little kitten gone home.
Quiet now at the herd.

Woman of his dreams gives our cowboy a chance

A night in my arms
Then her words, too often heard.
Don’t tell anyone.

Cowboy considers impossible dreams

Though I love herding
Will I ever reach the stars?
Not in my lifetime.

Cowboy passes on sage advice

A gentle rocking
Weightlessness, then blinding pain
Dont sleep on horseback

Cowboy explains the need for a soothing authority figure to handle stray cattle

Calm boy means calm cows
Help the lost back to the herd
Inside I’m screaming

Cowboy considers work life balance.

Something more from life?
Change of saddle? Or career?
Seasons change, not me.

Cowboy is sated after being left wanting for so long

A fire on my lips
The warm embrace I longed for
That’s some damn fine soup

Unfulfilled cowboy counts constellations to fight insomnia

With all this freedom
My broken heart lies awake
Yearnin for the stars
November 25, 2024 at 7:57 AM
Traumatised cowboy had his self worth destroyed so long ago that its lack has become a core personality trait.

No good to be near
Isolation is the cure
Cowboy life for me
November 20, 2024 at 5:05 AM
Cowboy has a sense of foreboding

A change in the air
A new player in the game
Up on them there hills
November 18, 2024 at 7:55 AM
Cowboy has an emotionally overwhelming musical experience

My yearning takes form
With an Irish serenade
Stars and curls hold me
November 17, 2024 at 4:19 AM
Burning ring of fire
Hold on tight as it passes
Dinner was spicy
November 13, 2024 at 10:58 PM
Cowboy needs more water

Sunlight pierces me
Braying cows rip me apart
Work with a headache
November 11, 2024 at 7:13 AM
Cowboy has a quiet night.

A wide open plain
Endless stars on inky black
Joy in solitude
November 9, 2024 at 8:22 AM
Cowboy consoles friends as an old sherif comes back to town

Hope is fragile now,
As we struggle against hate.
Love is our weapon.
November 8, 2024 at 1:24 AM
Cowboy contemplates the reciprocity of love and affection.

Their chin in my hand.
I’m falling into brown eyes.
Do cows love us back?
November 7, 2024 at 10:09 PM
Cowboy has a good night but briefly

Through rivers and rain
To a mountaintop this night
Just to touch the stars
November 6, 2024 at 10:01 PM
Hate turns that country
The orange of dying leaves.
Is winter coming?
November 6, 2024 at 9:17 AM
Cowboy does some target practice

Six cans on the fence
Six shots from my peacemaker
Six cans on the fence
November 5, 2024 at 10:23 PM
Lonely cowboy tries to explain his isolation.

The cows are easy
Guide ‘em, protect ‘em, watch ‘em.
But people are hard
November 5, 2024 at 3:51 AM
Divorced, childless, pacifist cowboy contemplates his masculinity in a society that only values procreation and violence as appropriate expressions of manhood.

I ain’t a father
I ain’t never shot someone
Am I shootin blanks?
