Rainbow West Virginia

 

Heading homewards through the hills and hollers a rainbow emerges through the clouds, a fortuitous sign for the season. Rocky Gap WV

 

C.S. is experimenting with large format cameras again and was going to capture my portrait after our meeting of disordered minds on the final day of May. Because of the crazy heat in Sandbar City, we decided to go our separate ways, but here is the photograph we did not take.

 

The bartender at our joint is named after a force of nature and has a killer heart tattoo under her eye. I swear-to-christ she dropped some monkey pox virus into my Campari and soda, or there is some bad voodoo in C. S’s large format camera.

 

Here I am all hirsute and dapper.

 

Tomorrow early I will be heading home to Enoch County. There will dispatches when I am not shaving my face.
