A Gulf of Mexico hurricane blew her to the Oregon Coast,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
where we met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After titillation in a sacred grove of cedars,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
we ate awful Chinese food washed down with weak gin and tonics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We laughed when she said her mother told her to fuck me,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and I said that a great line for a country song<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nashville would never write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I was hiking up her ruffled red dress,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
tugging her red hair,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
smearing her chest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with a scorpion tattoo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and seashell necklace<\/p>\n\n\n\n
against the glass in a Depoe Bay motel room<\/p>\n\n\n\n
overlooking gray whales spouting for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her straw cowboy managed to stay on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oceans and orgasms<\/em> her favorite expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I used it in a story later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We drank a bottle of white wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She smoked on the balcony,<\/p>\n\n\n\n told me of her bi-polar disorder,<\/p>\n\n\n\n about manic moods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The medicine was dissolving her teeth<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I used it in a story later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was her ticket out of Depoe Bay,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jack Nicholson’s favorite cocaine village during the filming of<\/p>\n\n\n\n One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest<\/em>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n her living in a trailer three times her age,<\/p>\n\n\n\n cleaning motel rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was close to offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She never suspected,<\/p>\n\n\n\n but I suspected she wouldn’t need it in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Gulf of Mexico hurricane blew her to the Oregon Coast, where we met.
