Lavender ski emptied of color
Drinking
Smoking cigarettes
Firelight throwing a sparkle
Talking horses and rodeo
Roughstock events
Wrecks and injuries sustained
Ennis felt he could paw the white out of the moon (5)]]> 2020-11-20 16:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/k_henderson/gcrl8zwyzi4czci4/wish/945846792 Heartbreak https://padlet.com/k_henderson/gcrl8zwyzi4czci4/wish/945852549 We could a had a good life

You're too much.
I wish I knew
how to quit you. (19)]]> 2020-11-20 16:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/k_henderson/gcrl8zwyzi4czci4/wish/945852549 Two Skins https://padlet.com/k_henderson/gcrl8zwyzi4czci4/wish/945853131 Jack's own shirt
Two skins
Two in one
Heavy, dirty, ripped, missing
Power of Brokeback Mountain
Held in his hands
Nothing else left
No smell of Jack
No mountain sage
salty sweet
faintest smoke of Jack
Only the memory
Lost long ago

Awaiting his mate
A once hot and clear morning turns to a cloudy sky
Out west all that exists,
Is the sultry air between the two

Nobody's Business but ours
They believed they were invisible
but they were not
the darkest hours
10 x 42 binoculars 
a bold stare
by the fire
in the sun
in the tent
as did it go]]> 2020-11-20 16:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/k_henderson/gcrl8zwyzi4czci4/wish/945856333 A Hot Jolt https://padlet.com/k_henderson/gcrl8zwyzi4czci4/wish/945856404 A hot jolt 
Seized them by the shoulders
Their mouths came together 
Wet saliva welling 
Shutting the door 
Chest and groin and thigh and leg together

Built a life up in them years
It ain’t her fault
If what happened back there grabs on us 
In the wrong place we’ll be dead
No reins on this one (12)

On Brokeback Mountain. 
Some pretend place 
Where the blue birds sing 
And there's a whiskey spring.
I didn't know where that was,
So he was cremated,
And we put up a stone.

broke his nose and jaw knocked him unconscious on his back
drowning in his own blood
Jack would not answer

Icy water up in his hand
Crystalline drops glistening with wet
Snowmelt
A scarf of bubbles
The willows swayed stiffly
The horses drank
Jack dismounted
