Pointed Square Dance

In a pointed square dance

on weathered wood

a lone star brings visions

of cowboy boots, denim blue jeans,

and a cowboy riding the Texas wind.

Its tarnishing patina lassos the sun

pulling its rays across raisined skin

wiped dry by a red bandana.

It is comfort;

it is continuity;

it is strength;

it is pride;

to a Lone Star State

born from the dust of the Alamo.

This iconic symbol does

its dosey doe until sunset

and then retreats into the shadows

to let night brush against its steel

to polish its determination until

a new day rises in the east.
