Brokeback Mountain 2020

         He only knew that he belonged
                    deep inside the churning storm
         of his buddy's aching body.

© Kåre Enga [177.242] (6.oktober.2020) 23σ 8/7/8

I was feverish. Only 99.2 but... these days... so instead of doing my wash I took an aspirin and lay down in the dark at 8 p.m. The above ditty came to mind. Anyhoo I had to get up to write it down. It's after 11 p.m. and my temp is 97.9.

I'm fuzzy-headed and feeling weak. Thankfully I'm not in any position of power like you-know-who and my health does not matter to anyone but myself. In many ways that's reassuring. If I feel better I might go out for milk.

As for the poem. 23 syllables, can be edited. Nowhere to put it except for here. I must write down thoughts because otherwise they churn then dissipate, seldom to be refound. Better to keep them. May be useful some day.

Deconstructing it: it has rhythm. Any word substitution or rephrasing should honor that as the rhythm seems appropriate for the moment (it was a dark and stormy night...). Words are weak and not concrete enough. Image would be vague to some (but that's okay). May fit nicely into a piece of prose. An updated version of Annie Proulx' story.

So some Reality Checking...

20. Are you easily embarrassed? Why do you think this is?

Chris two doors down made me blush yesterday. I wasn't raised to be open about anything real, like sex, or wants or needs. Chris shared though. She's basically my age and said that sex = sex, but there has to be more. And how does she attract younger men but not men her own age? Oddly, I've had similar problems.

21. What is the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you?

Well, it wasn't my shorts falling down yesterday. Lucky I wasn't naked! So, hard question, I'm embarassed by so much. I cringed as a child then tried to block it all out. I tend to avoid embarassing situations (like having my place inspected for cracks in the walls Friday; I cleaned like a ... up till 4 a.m.).

22. What was the last thing to surprise you?

I didn't expect Michele to offer a new place to live. I didn't expect to love it. I didn't expect Travis to bring me down to earth. I felt ... as if my need for change was acknowledged... even though I've said no to the offer.

23. Do you hide your emotions? If so, why?

I've been somewhat reticent to share details about my 'love life'. Pointless. A stray thought: "I'm lava; I burn anything that gets too close. Two thousand miles away, on days when he's feeling cold, I can only hope that he puts his feet up and knows my embers and feels the glow". So yeah... can't talk about it, can't not write about it.
