a marvellous night
a marvellous woman
they married in the winter
they parted in the spring
she threw her wedding ring
into the Lake of Decisions
she continued
he continued
they met again
in the south of France
she was living alone
but in great beauty
he appeared to her
as a toad
she chased him
out of the 18th century
he thinks of her all the time
but in the winter
he goes crazy
he walks up & down the room
singing Hank Williams
the police put tickets on his car
the snow removal people
cover it with snow
finally it is towed away
to a huge white field
of frozen dogs
