Blindside
she came
riding in with
just about enough
silver morgans to hire
an assistant the rainbow trout
swam upstream the creek washed her
intentions wearable dirtied from his ghost
melted under the skillet of fish on the camp fire
his straight razor turned against him he cut his own
throat bloody rosary left hanging on the fence post
her holster
stamped with blindside
she took revenge for an
invasion that marked a milestone
her assistant had an assistant that
I had known to be a piano player in a gold zone
that saloon didn't see those women coming there was
no time to hide
she poured
me a whiskey
from the bottle the
bartender delivered
her assistants tucked
aces up their sleeves all hell
was about to break loose we sat quiet
the printing press assigned us the word
Blindside!
