El Vaquero

God is in control

Ropes, brands and keeps you,

Dios, como un vaquero,

El Rey de los Vaqueros.


The Cowboy
Ropes, brands and keeps you:
God, the ultimate Cowboy:
The King of Cowboys.

The Fall

Last leaves fall to ground

(Blanket for wintry graves),

The worm never starves.

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 146: Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth
