"P" is pages

Eight years after finishing the writing of her tale of two Wyoming ranch hands, Annie Proulx had managed to get rid of Jack and Ennis.   In September of 2005, however, Jack and Ennis came roaring back from her pages when she attended a screening of the movie in New York.

Just one look was all it took for Jack and Ennis to resume where they had left off at Brokeback.

"S" is sauntered

Ennis bounded down the stairs as Jack sauntered over to him from the truck.  They longed to be close to each other; birds should suddenly appear, in fact.

"T" is tomorrows
« Reply #13493 on: June 11, 2007, 11:21:54 am »
Jack and Ennis each had a different perspective on how to deal with their tomorrows; but for today it was kissing time - sheep be damned.   


Because we are in love
We reach for our tomorrows
And know we won't be lonely
In laughter and in sorrows
Where love abides
There is the place we'll keep our love forever
You and I
Because we are in love

"U" is unfettered

After a shaky Jack and Ennis made their goodbyes to Alma, they redlined it to the Siesta Motel to give in to their now unfettered desires.

"V" is voicelessness

After an initial round of "sonofabitches", there was a voicelessness and wild animal passion to the reunion kiss. 



Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice

Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm

Keep them safe
Keep them warm

Jack's smile widened as Ennis bounded down the stairs to greet him.

Seeing the passionate kiss between Jack and Ennis further xcluded Alma from being strongly connected with her husband.

Round 512 !!

Round Five One Two

I got smokes for you ..


"Sure enough," Alma said, taking a dollar bill from her pocket.
Ennis guessed she was going to ask him to get her
a pack of cigarettes, bring him back sooner.

"Please to meet you," said Jack, trembling like a run-out horse.

"Ennis -- " said Alma in her misery voice,
but that didn't slow him down on the stairs
and he called back, "Alma, you want smokes
there's some in the pocket a my blue shirt
in the bedroom." [Proulx]

Alma's heart ached as she saw Ennis running down the stairs calling back, "Alma, you want smokes there's some in the pocket a my blue shirt in the bedroom."
