Unmasked - Poetry just tumbles on out

A continuation of Poetry Tumble, started from one line of a special poem by a special poet. From that point I took the last line of my poem and made it the first line of another poem, not as a story continuation, but a new poem that stands alone. To see whose poem I borrowed (with permission) a line from — and to read the entire collection in order, click on Poetry Tumble tab at the top of the blog.

Unmasked


Would we start with the boots or mask?
If you can’t decide
I’ll vote for rope
coiled at your side

and silver spurs
on boots of polished leather.

And once unmasked,

you’ll be the handsomest
cowboy

in
second grade.
