The Marfa Lights in Texas

I see the Marfa lights
within the ghost town
of the moonless sky~

Are they the bullets
from the gunslingers
once shot from colt 45's ?

Is it the gunsmoke
within Texas
in the ghost town of yesterday?

Maybe Billy the Kid...Cassidy
or even Doc Holliday~

The Sundance Kid
Jessie James
 Johnny Ringo
fighting over
Calamity Jane~

Are the bullets
from Wyatt Earp
or is his spurs reflecting
in our eyes~

It is a mystery
within Texas
beneath it's great
starry skies.

Is the Marfa lights
within the ghost town
of our imaginations?
or will they always be
the bullets from the
gunslingers in the west?
