The shirts, he knew, were his to keep;
he saw that Jack's love was deep
Jack hid those shirts in a manmade tomb
Tucked in a closet in his childhood room
Ennis carried them in a bag, drove home to weap.

      This just reminded me of something I had never noticed before...maybe i am alone here...The beginning of the movie,,,,first scene, Ennis enters into the story carrying a brown
paper bag.  His life, shirts that he had.   Onto BBM.   At the end of the story, he drives out of the story for all intents and purposes, carrying his life again in brown paper bag, with both of their shirts, one of which was the same shirt he had carried into the story....
       Talk about coming full circle.  
      Now back to our regularly scheduled game........ :)

A brown bag suitcase Ennis carried;
his wordly goods until he married.

He left his bloody shirt on Brokeback.

He left his bloody shirt on Brokeback,
both that and his heart secretly held by Jack...

All said and done, Jack lay buried.

        Ennis said Jack was his fishin buddy.
        Till his tackle box, Alma did study, 

         

         
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

        They caught brownies, and ate them up.
