Last Cowboy in Kittitas County
Dedicated to Ryan Thompson, the first Ellensburg Police Officer killed in the line of duty for over 50 years.
I saw a cowboy outside the courthouse today,
Across a street, perched on the low wall in the sun.
Having paid his dues inside that hole,
He wept over nothing and no one.
His Hat tipped flirtatiously from my gaze,
While he leaned gracefully in cotton and leather.
Poetry trickled from the brim of his hat
And scurried under traffic, toward me.
I saw the last man
Who broke the law, right.
I smelled his oiled boots
And crisp kerchief.
I loved his lean form
And blue dungarees.
And Love always
ends in tears.
We all saw that cowboy
At the courthouse today,
And spoke of anything, but.

See me, I’m the ocean, why the sky is so blue, but I have reds and yellows and green colors too.
The sky eats my reds and my yellows and greens and all that it shows are blue in-betweens.
And your love is the ocean, the sky is still blue, and paddling round it
You beautiful two
Who knew where it started or knows how it mends,
It’s reflections of oceans,
And it never ends.
Love you forever,
C. Ray

Happy 2nd anniversary
Our lives have been
rising and falling together; a feather drifts in mesoscale
and we, the fowl mites
travel.
