Amarillo Rose and the Hombre
Part 6
streaked a raw red sky
statue figured clouds fly
over mountains with no name
across rocky sunbaked plane
a yellow flower lie
sipping whiskey rye
front porch swinging
Amarillo Rose singing
bandelero guitar picked
macho spanish rips
sumbreo tilted back for sips
dancing dress dips
licking whiskey lips
lap grinding hips
arms wrapped into nape tickles
soft mounded breasts jiggle
ear whispering promises
binding dress unleases
rising in the cress's
muffled noise breezes
passions flame raged
cold winds change
with a cracking of a whip
flesh eating nip
An hombre from terilingua
bull whip with a stinger
Fast hands reach for steel
no match for the whip wheeled
'snap' and 'crack'
this Hombre lashed
till bandelero lay like a sack
wanted poster match
Then tied to a mule
silver dollar slewn
at the feet of lady Laura
"for your troubles, whore'a!"
The sun set lower than low
across the mile a candle's glow
waiting for the knock at the door
at the threshold of Lady Laura
