Ed Tom Bell Gets to Grow Old.

Image from IMDB

Under that hat a late solemn mind cooking.

Taking them in. It seems from a glance,

an expression, shifting hands,

that they wish to eat the world whole.

no reason to it

just as certain as a turn in orbit

and the sun sets its heat off Texas 'til another day.

The things he sees in a lifetime

in no way helping with answers

and his fear finding only

the saint that he married

to protect him with love and light.

His daddy has passed on by on horseback.


He looks at the relics of his

Uncles house amidst the mess;

he will inherit such a seat

an old man, an old country man,

to sit in a chair and hear out 

a worn-down sheriff yet to step up

and give answers 

that draw in a dark

and edge the boys dreams

afterwards.
