AN ODE TO THE OLD WEST

Photography by Jack Antal featuring Austin Dixon | Words by Ben Giese

In collaboration with RAEN

the lone rider moves with the wind

to the west

through a sea of dust and death

scorned by the sun

forsaken by heaven and earth

a thousand miles from nowhere

the land of illusion and delusion

of serpents and skeletons

eternal stars and holy nights

but there are no gods here

only devils

and the lost souls of the west

the long shadows of ancient saguaros

that still sing hymns of yesterday

of outlaws and gunslingers

and the lone rider

headed west

with the setting sun
