gracias armitas,
for blocking the blow of many aspen branches,
fighting thier way to tear my skin.
and sheltering me,
from clawing saskatoon bushes,
leaving smudges of purple berries.
thankyou for catching the rain drops,
pounding against your tired leather.
and racing down fringes,
to finally fall to the grass below.
thankyou for keeping the sun away,
off of faded wranglers.
i just thankyou for protecting my legs,
as this equine & I run through dark woods,
my wild screams spooking the bovine.
gracias armitas.
definition of armitas:
arm-eed-uz
body armour in spanish.
thick leather leggings worn over the jeans,
by cowboys & buckaroos.
the mountains are still watching - ginger
I sit cross legged
the evening sun is slowing sliding
down behind mountains.
thier wool bodies are pressed tightly against mine.
giving me kisses.
they rule my life.
black eyes close.
our faces pressed together.
lambs in my heart.
lambs on my face.
lambs holding me.
