even cowgirls get the blues

my cowboy hat
engulfed in blue
goes everywhere with me
the exposed frayed threads
in secret places
the lopsided manner in which it stands proudly,
jealously protecting a wild mass of golden curls
sheilding the unruly dangerous contents
from the outside world
i know this cowboy hat
it is mine
it protects me
it shields me
I keep it close to me
today it is wearing the blue sky above
