The Divorce Thread

The main intention was not to say that it wasn’t a guy, but that it was’t the same woman.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

I hope Jorge's divorce is as amicable as some of the ones shared here.

If I was in a wedding party for a friend whose marriage ended in divorce and he asked me to be in his next one, I’d probably decline.

This was hilarious btw. “Sorry pal, you get me one time and you already used your chit.”

You single now?

No this was my first marriage that ended in 2012, I got married again a few years later.

This always fascinates me. Did you have a real wedding again? I can’t imagine my marriage ending in divorce and then asking people to come to my next wedding. If I was in a wedding party for a friend whose marriage ended in divorce and he asked me to be in his next one, I’d probably decline. It feels like, barring death, something everyone should only get to make a big deal of one time. Then again, maybe it was your second wife’s first marriage, and she deserves the fairytale like everyone else. I don’t know. I struggle with social anxiety, and I have a hard time thinking of a scenario I’d hate more than a second wedding.

I have a friend that got remarried to a woman who hadn’t been married before. I think he just wanted to go to the courthouse, but understood she’d want a bigger to do, so they did a small destination wedding and then a modest reception when they returned. I thought that made good sense.

[spike]

Though now that I think about it, me and another buddy might have been felt out to see if we’d attend the destination part, but I was sort of estranged from the guy by then and felt it was a heavy ask under the circumstances. We have a sort of complicated past.

Oh, the “destination wedding” is a hard pass under any circumstances. My sister-in-law had one in the Florida Keys. We had two young kids and made just enough money for one vacation a year. Fuck that. My wife went, of course, but the boys and I stayed behind.
