Smile Boy

[SadLuckDame]

Have you ever seen the twilight zone episode about the old man and his dog walking down a country road and they come to a gate with a man standing there?

I thought of you posting about the scent of a woman and about your dogs' soul I saw when I was walking today, this afternoon. There was a blind gentleman with his loyal German Shepard pal. At the street stop I could hear him say, "Good boy." There was love in his voice. It was beautiful too.

There was one hair pin turn on a road in Utah coming down off of Soldier Summit
I loved that road at night on that turn as i curved off to the right you could see a sky full of stars and wonders right before you. Like being on the bridge of a star ship. No trees no houses no power lines nothing to block your view just the night sky and the tender indifference of the universe.

You have wonderful paintings Jack. Truly wonderful.
I like to look about your room at the paintings.

Thinking about mingo’s tag line ice in the shadows.
Always like that one.

Going up Soldier Summit towards Spanish Fork on a sunny winter afternoon the road is dry on the north bound lane going around that curve I notice that the south bound lane is still in the shadows and wet from the melting snow. I am thinking that will probably freeze over tonight. I hope I won’t be coming back this way. But dam my luck if I don’t find myself coming back down at three in the morning going around that curve where the black ice will be. Just for a moment as I start into the curve I feel the truck give a little slip. Will I make it around or will I go straight ahead into that night sky and the valley below. Such an eerie calmness as I watch the sceene unfold from a remote consciousness.

More on Soldier Summit and the death of my dog.
