at woodstock.
at woodstock. with mahogoni. as it rains. mud flooding. sleeping inside a
shelter made in the woods. under someones tarp. like twenty-five years
before. sitting on a hill. staring out. blanket over us. as it lightly falls.
mists of rain. hitching into town barefoot. wandering. eating a bagel. on
the way back. freedomfest. hardly anyone remains. the weekend is over. at
night. melanie. the allan brothers. watching.
there is a gypsy wedding as we get there. people line up the hill. to the
woodstock bus. all holding hands. two rows. forming an aisle. as woodstock.
and sherry walk down the aisle. and each person follows as the procession
passes. longer and longer. we all walk down the aisle. disappearing. with
them. smiling as we pass those to follow. someone hands out cards. i love
you. then everyone is at the stage. and they say their vows. and sweep away
their past. and jump over the broomstick. into their new life.
