She drove to the wildlife refuge for a final assignation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
before marrying a limp civil servant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marriage next weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lifetime of herbicides, somnolent sex,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
subjugation of her inner satyr,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
godless Easter Sunday casseroles in suburbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fire in the burn barrel raged on the patio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I threw rosemary in at midnight for witchcraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We drained a fifth of Rebel Yell while hazed in rosemary smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She wore panties, bra and a sheepskin coat some kid left behind in my classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I played our song, \u201cEssence\u201d by Lucinda Williams on guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She jumped onto my lap, nearly crushing the guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I kept on playing, she sang along to our favorite verse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baby, sweet baby, I wanna feel your breath She found a flashlight and began a strobe light striptease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bats appeared, dipped, dived around her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She’d never seen bats before and was delighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I told her not to marry him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I told her I could break them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She didn’t say not to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She said, \u201cI’ve got to marry him so I can divorce him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She never did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I never tried.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" She drove to the wildlife refuge for a final assignation before marrying a limp civil servant.
