Sage Sweetwater Poetry Scenes for Television & Film adapted by Tim Riley




straddled the
tongue of her mess
wagon dripping with cackle
berry, went down to the little stream
to wash my smile, she spread her legs
and laughed, me thinking cackle berry was
a component of pussy, cackle berry and eggs
one in the same, "sage firebrand, your name?"

"what the deuce!
bad company coming,
yea, I'm firebrand" - I waded
the creek, her ex-washlady
poured lye in my day's plan,
said I was a missionary who
fled with money and bibles to burn,
posse notified, little chance she would
overtake me, her messengers, the chill
winds, neutral-colored badlands, quaking
aspens just beginning to turn yellow, purple lupine
a blaze of glory, I cut an armload of willow sticks, the
mess wagon departing, I caught sight of white canvass,
the cover of the mess wagon coming back toward me.

mess box
was locked,
my whiskey inside,
I tethered my horse,
pot-hooks and ovens,
"gather sheaves gleaning
after the reapers, I'd like my
whiskey and Mason please,"
I said. "missionary who saves
the children from measles," she
said, two days travel, shining light
from the Latter-Day Saints, we rode
through their village, large granary and
tallow from cattle given out in their anointings,
cattle eating consecrated hay,

pay their tithe
with foxtail hay,
plodding the road
with his plural wives
and herd,

one wife, one
driver, we f***ed
on the Oregon Trail,
started a mission on
Nez Percé at Lapwai.

I myself hit the hay every night still....

I agree with Amber. I could actually see myself in the stream with you, and at the covered mess wagon. I could see you and the wagon driver having intimate sex. The images are so rich that it puts the reader right there with the characters. Nice write Sage, I Liked it a lot.

May The Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

It appears the Oregon Trail opened up more than the West.
They left this chapter out of my history book, and more's
the pity. Again (and always) the writing is as good as it
gets. Sage, you're the best damn storyteller since Homer.
Gottta have me some cackleberry and scrapple. -gene.

A little before the turning of the 20th century, my paternal grandfather arrived in Oregon City, Oregon as a little boy in company with his father and mother on their way to farming in nearby Salem in the fertile Willamette Valley where I was born some time later. All this gives rise to my dream of someday also being able to say, "I fucked on the Oregon Trail," even though my great-grandfather likely got the job done first. Damn!

Fascinating write, as always.

With love and respect,
Richard
