The Chair

"She has good bones"

the antiques dealer said

Her arms worn

by ages of hands

caressing, enjoying

the curves of

Her smooth silhouette

Her seat now 

threadbare cowhide

spent by the 

engraved rivets

adorning backsides

of many a cowboy

seeking his repose

"She has good bones"

said the refined, willowy man

with the etched face

and leathered hands

"I shall take Her,

and make Her a home."
