like a scene from an old movie, Cat Ballou

he opened his trunk and pulled out the carefully
packed items,
laying them out upon his bed.

he dressed with the dignity and style
of a matador,

first,
his favorite black shirt
with it's shiny silver buttons,

next
his trousers
black leather, and shining in the sunlight
placing his leather belt on
he admired it's heavy silver buckle

then he put on his boots,
special boots
purposeful boots
laced tall.

he reached for his black leather jacket,
and grabbed his white helmet,
after putting on his sunglasses
he climbed upon his steed,
deep sapphire blue
shining brightly the metallic particles in the paint.

nudging the starter button
he awakened the beast,
groggily it arose
suddenly
fully alert,
awakened
well rested.

together they slowly meandered about
regaining comfort in each other.

how quickly he thought
they became one,
in tune with each other
after such slumber....
what was it? four months?

smile came upon his face,
he knew it was inevitable
for each time
just he and his steed
went upon their journeys
it awoke something deep inside him.

something difficult for him to explain,
something he cherished each time it happened
but this feeling
this joy
he always wished to put into words.

the time alone
his mind ran as fast as his steed
thoughts,
new stories to tell,
forgotten smells
when forced through his nostrils
made him sigh.

slow winding paths
warm sunlight upon his face

new growth
new cedar

outside in his world
he was amazed how differently it all looked.
like 3-D
like a halo gram

each object
bright to his attention
so close
he felt he could just reach out and touch it.

he breathed in
and exhaled slowly,
he felt anew
alive
rejuvenated
awake after such a slumber.

nothing at all like while in his cage
boxed in with four walls, windows, tires
no, upon his steed he was alive
he was whom he is
deep within
inside where his spirit lives
dreams
and shows.

he laughed
it had taken no time at all!
not an hour
not a half hour
but nearly one quarter of an hour
and he came alive.
