The past does not exist in a vacuum. What I say re: Sherl now:

Cannot abide.
What I wrote in 2012:
It's so much easier to give you one of his poems than explain all the brilliance of this collection.
"The Oregon Trail is based on a true story"
This one time we watched the weather.
You were naked & I was naked
& the sound of everything was louder
than the thunder we couldn't see.
You said I love you more than not getting dysentery.
I said Sing this trail to sleep under me
& you did. You sang it cold dead.
At the Kansas River crossing we fed
our oxen to the mouth of the river, slept
under our wagon as we lit it on fire.
When we burn you said. When we burn,
our ashes will bathe our children, feed
them throughout the night.
The fire was the color of fire.
It was so red we saw Hell & everything in it.
When we burn I said. When we burn,
our ashes will mix & I will only be you
& you will ever only be me.
[5 stars for all the times I died of dysentery back in '94 and '95 and for all the times I've wished to burn up hard & bright.]
