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
