Change Partners: A short tribute to Brokeback Mountain the book and Oscar-worthy film
He sure is a nervy cuss, not the kind a fellah I expected to find in Childress, Texas. I kicked up some sand when LaShawn told me we were goin’ to get out and meet some a the folks ‘round here. I ain’t much for socializin’. One a the reasons I took to a ( Read more... ) -

His Point of View
Whut in the hell is that piece a shit pickup doin’ parked in my lot? I don’t believe my fuckin’ eyes! Jack Twist, king a the fuckups. I cain’t believe the government sent that pissant back here after the mess he made a things last year. Lazy little mama’s boy. You’d think he was a nut-cut calf the way he bitched and ( Read more... ) -

Whiskey Dream
I cain’t believe this’s really happenin’. Got a be a dream. All I wanted was ta feel his hand on my pecker just once while I wrang it out under the blanket. Hopin’ so hard he wouldn’t wake up. Knowin’ the risk I took. Thought he’d whup me for sure when he jumped up all growly, but he just kind a squinted at me, all sleepy- ( Read more... ) -
Penis-Whipped
by Smoothe Harry
(This is an original poem by Harry. He's rather earthy, and hasn't the faintest glimmer of an idea how to construct a proper poem, but I think self-expression should be encouraged.)
Why are you so hard where I am softest?
Always going when I want to be coming?
The key to my kingdom swings between your legs.
A rod, and a ( Read more... ) -
Red
A short tribute to Brokeback Mountain
Red light. Whoa now. Hold your horses, cowboy. Put on the brakes. Ain’t in no hurry no ways. Ain’t goin’ nowhere, that’s for sure. No wife. No family. No real home, just that old trailer. End a the line. Red light. As red as the shirt Jack had worn in Sixty-Seven. The color a stop signs, fire ( Read more... ) -

If you don't like poems, or inspirational type things in general, no worries. Just skip lightly over these entries. If anyone reading this journal has a short poem or some lyrics or perhaps a ( Read more... ) -
Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate
Lyrics by Jackson Browne. This song reminds me of Ennis in his trailer near the end, or perhaps Jack, lying awake in his marriage bed on Thanksgiving night.
Sleep’s Dark and Silent Gate
Jackson Browne
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
Where my life will lead me
Waiting to pass under Sleep's dark and silent gate
I found my love too ( Read more... ) -

Thrown
A short tribute to Brokeback Mountain
Christ! Why’d God make the ground s’damn hard? No time t’ wait for an answer. Roll, boy! That there mountain a beef is lookin’ t’ stomp yore head in. Where the fuck’s that clown? Jesus! This bull means business. If my hip ain’t broke, it’ll be a wonder. Jimbo! Where’n hell are you? Git ( Read more... ) -
Sonnet 29
"When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes"
When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur'd like him ( Read more... )
