It seems like in some dream or in some other place,
I first saw that image – the rider with no face.
It was no homemade mask, scarf or old flour sack,
Just newly scarred flesh with piercing eyes that stared back.
He wore a dark sombrero and rode a pale white horse—
Never said a word 'cause he had no mouth of course.
I could see his black holster with silver inlay
As sun glinted on it and clouds all rolled away.
And though he had no lips, I swore he spoke my name:
"Turn to thyself," I heard him say, "never know shame."
Then he turned round and trotted off into the black,
As I quickly took aim and shot him in the back.
Then as I stood by him and watched him slowly die,
He began to then change and I did not know why.
I looked at that nameless face and there I did find,
A face I now recognized and that face was mine.
