He yelled about the Devil and preached damnation in my southern childhood town. Brown canvas tented off the Dipper while swooning souls bought salvation, bartered with silvered coin. We crawled through unblessed sand to pile limp hay and heathen weeds into his darkened four door sedan, all to hear him scream 'God damn' one last time after the revival ended and the tent poles came down.
