we all make mistakes

she tells
me about the one that got away.
a country
boy
who sang
and played the guitar.
he had blue
eyes,
she said,
tall and lanky, but a momma's
boy.
he wore
a hat, a cowboy hat,
and knew
his way
around a farm.
he wanted to marry me,
but i said
no.
it was probably
my biggest mistake,
if you don't count
this tattoo
on my face
that runs down
my neck 
and breasts, and onto
both arms.
