Balls

Dec
28

Cowboy.

Strutting.

Watching.

Waiting. Waiting for Clover, his intended, his future lover, the light of his life and the hope of his lonely nights. Waiting for the day she will wag her tail and bleat for him, sniff the buck rag and swoon her desire. Clover and I will leap into the car, careen over the hill like Thelma and Louise–straight to Cowboy.

In the meantime, the bucks at the goat farm are in rut and butting heads until they’re bloodied and bald on top.

Not to mention the peeing on each other’s heads.

Do you see that Clover? Do you see how Cowboy is suffering for you, how he walks through the fires of hell for you, how he proves his worthiness? He would fight dragons for you, Clover! He would climb every mountain, ford every stream. Love is never having to say you’re sorry there’s pee on your face.

Clover? Clover? Are you in heat yet, Clover? Want me to get out the buck rag? Cowboy’s ready! Is he not a fine sight to behold? CLOVER?

Clover: “I need a drink.”

Dueling Roosters

Dec
28


Two roosters at the goat farm, one inside the hen yard, one out. They’d pee on each other’s heads like the bucks but they have to satisfy themselves with raising their hackles.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
