Horseshoe in Diamond Dust

she mourned
for a year until
it was time to put
the industry gear in
a film deal lifting the
horseshoe in the forge hot
stamped with an old west woman's
unique rogue name that significantly
contributed to a spiritual awakening in
her

lens flare
deliberately used
to invoke a sense of
drama you edit real life
scenes

animated starbursts
referring not to the galaxy
or the symbol consisting of a star
surrounded by rays or the fruit-flavored
candy but the starburst business - corporate
spin-off that glazes your horseshoe in diamond
dust - halo edging the brim of your cowgirl hat

when I used
creative corrective
metallic powder measures
to expose the diamond dust
it financed your dream...
