She swoops down
picks up the grounder, throws
it to first base, players out
game is won, runs to the
winners circle, high fives
gathers her things bounds
over the fence and is gone
to ride horseback along
the chaparral until the sun
sets in the late afternoon
too early for bed so after
the horse is tended she
climbs into her truck
throws down a few beers
and dances with the guys
‘till she’s soaking wet,
then rides the bull ‘till
the bar closes goes home
falls in bed exhausted
after writing a list
of things to do
before the next sunrise.
