Franchesca- draft 1 (for Taylor) ¹
Dante wrote the inferno. Back and back and back.
Dante wrote the inferno and the beat poets explored
the carnal cacophony of society's margins.
Jack Keroack went on the road.
Neal Cassady was my animal. He brought me to my knees.²
Catholicism and Jesus Christ and Dante writing the inferno.
Jensen Ackles’ dad telling him not to use straws.
[Do you think I’d give up? That this might have shook the love from me?]³
[That I was on the brink? How could you think, darling I'd scare so easily?]⁴
“What about Dean? I like Dean. He’s funny.”
Midway on our life's journey, I found myself in dark woods, the right road lost.⁵
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.⁶
I first met Dean not long after my wife and I split up.⁷
“I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.”
Real glass and real bees and Dante writing the inferno.
The summer I got Covid and watched Seasons 3-5 of Supernatural in a of couple weeks
The heat eating away at the aching stretch of July and the sound of crickets from my parent’s back porch, staring up at the stars thinking— no summer is ever gonna be like this again⁹ There's not one thing that I would change.¹⁰
The crawl of satellites in the hush and sway of the hollow night
My life was a storm, since I was born
How could I fear any hurricane?¹¹
Criss-crossing sections of flight paths marked by red lights blinking on and then back off again (if someone asked me at the end)
Time winding down around all of us
Me and Dean Winchester at the edge of the world.
