We were rangers
on the plains
at peace with the predators
sleeping in the cool night air
the crunch of dry grass beneath
our horses\u2019 hooves
pricking our ears
leather cracking like dry skin
clouds rolling in
painting whirligigs in the sky
winds twirling them \u2018round
pointing us home
to shelter
and apple pie
with hot rum
a warm bath
and a cool night\u2019s
sleep<\/p>\n\n\n\n
