Cavalry

I close my eyes, dropped in some sandy town.

Clint Eastwood gazes at me, his eyes widen, shouts “Get down!”

   so I drop to the ground.

A bullet blazes through my hair, Clint takes his gun,

   shoots, kills my dispair.

“Watch out next time kid”, he warns me while pulling me off the ground,

   ” for I’m not always around”.

He hands me a gun, with a handle of white ivory,

   ”for when there’s no other way out to see”.

Wise advice, I much oblige.

Just when he wants to get up his horse,

   there’s a sound in the distance, trembling the ground with great force.

Raiders come a runnin, with the town on their minds.

   ”For one last time, I won’t leave you behind…”
