Palomino

We choose a date night
watching western movies.
Let a silver screen cowboy
saddle up our dreams.
We lie back against
our crash tested pillows.
Sharing popcorn wishes
in sweet and salty fantasy.
We let that dusty hero
sweep a lady off her feet.
Making our eyes mist
with an electrified kiss.
We lean into each other.
Before they ride
that newly minted coin
palomino stallion
into our blushing sunset.
