Westward Ho!

Like a fox filching
the fattest hen
he crept over the
hay strewn barn
as moonlight
lit a dappled path
that led to the
end of forever
He had taken a long ride
on a short fuse,
saddled to a
black as night mare.
His heartstrings
lay severed like his spirit
as he opened her saddlebags
with his last act of wisdom.
Then he gently placed
the two carat glitter
of a diamond ring
and a handful of
old love letters
in the deep pouch.
You see she had broken
thier engagement
and now he was simply
returning the pieces.
