Guns & Horses

The young man by now was astride a horse

And making for a Yavapai stronghold half a day's ride away

He had more guns and horses than he needed

And he knew where two white men were sitting in the desert with no water and no horses

White men dressed as Yavapai-Apaches

The white men would be calling for their mothers and their God by evening

But the young man would be drunk on tiswin and full of deer meat

And satisfied by their agony
