I enjoyed the different take on the classic cowboy trope in this poem. I can sense the weariness of the main character but there's still this underlying sense of pride and duty that keeps him pushing forward.
The last two stanzas in particular are illuminating. It builds the tension between world weariness and hope for a better day.
