what are you after? cowboy

its a strange time to be alive, isn't it?

a time where we can run freely on vast desert that was our home. as the scorching heat rises above our heads. before the world swallows us whole.

a time where promises are made, knowing we'd see another day. even though in the world of outlaws they never meant anything. 

a time where everything is just within our reach, whether its the sunset or the sea. 

reckless, as my mother put it.

I never knew what she was referring to, is it the current age or is it you?

but I suppose, you are the current age itself. leather vest derby hat, boots knocking on the floorboards of every saloon on this town and the next one. buscadero on the run. 

they said to never trust anyone. yet here we are with our horses. 

riding along the train tracks. brought the peacemaker with you with the intention of disturbing its own concept. rope on my side. 

the sky already turned orange, the penultimate train is about to pass. 

cigarette by your mouth, as you continue on rambling about your plan. to see other parts of the world, where the ground is solid rock no more. 

mentioned a town's name I never heard of.

because its far from here, you said.

split the earning from past robberies, you add.

go different ways, the plan.

...

and as much as I would like to be surprised after hearing it. your ambition never goes away in the first place. an urge you couldn't explain.

the constant never-ending search for something meaningful, to replace the ache that was the past.

because I wasn't enough.

and this town was never enough.

and all this gold would never be enough.

which sounds crazy to me. 

because my everything is leaving to search for his. 

i dont mind seeing the same buildings until time eventually swallows me. to live with my dying mother, and not see the world whole. 

for the world I needed is right beside me. 

....

chase the birds, follow the stars.

see where the sun goes when its dark.

be reckless, be selfish, be your age. before anyone takes that from you.

but you cant expect me to not wonder,

what are you after? cowboy.
