Independent
she calls out from her hiding place hard to make out her words
but the message is clear
she is on her own follows her own path makes up her
own mind
one foot in front of the other doesn’t ask for directions
some say
she is independent scribbles her messages on scraps of paper
left for others to find
sometimes she writes in code and laughs out loud some
days she is a cowgirl
rides the range and some days she is a buckerette
on the rodeo circuit
seated on the wildest bronc some say about her she is
an unbroken mustang
“the best-lookin' ones aren't worth throwing a saddle on”
other days
she tags along the road barefoot without a destination
she sits in the shade
and pens her script no one knows for sure not
even her name

Note: From the online dictionary under “bronc,” -- “the best-lookin’ ones aren’t worth throwing a saddle on.” I’m not sure what it means, but I like it.

I like this, its a lovely theme about being independent enough to take on the world, risk it all for adventure. I hope you are well, thanks for sharing!
I'm reading this as such fine allegory! We are animals, though we build our own traps at times. I don't know any other animals who write, though I feel we all "read" each other constantly, especially when in natural environments. And wouldn't it be wonderful if society never tried to bridle ANY women, good looking or not?
"An unbroken mustang" ... riding for a fall perchance.
That quote made me smile.....as does the image of her either riding the range or walking barefoot along the road, writing scraps of poetry on bits of paper. Cool.
Truly I have great admiration for the mustang. After reading this poem, even more so.
Perhaps some broncos like poets want to do it there way and not be tamed to follow the rules.
Oops "there" should be "their".
what a great independent woman you have poetically set on paper. Love it
She is a free spirit...very much admirable.
This just about made me cry, because it might as well be about me --- but it's all a lie, all the characters. It's how I cope, float, keep my head above slaughter. I can't breathe when I'm myself. You wouldn't believe the soul massacre that takes place in the silence between names/identities ... the way I scramble when I know one self is done but the next hasn't emerged yet. It's terrifying to be real, even for a day. I try hard to forget my name; that's how I convince myself that nothing sad I've ever felt has been real.
I love your poem, in other words.
An admirable independent woman!
handsome.
