Everybody dies but some times they don't leave


The Empty space,

where my departed

loved ones were,

follows me around.

The emptiness

is a heavy weight

Vengeful Ghosts

Last night I dreamed
The ghosts of Geronimo
and Teddy Roosevelt
hunted El Presidente
Through the halls of La Casa Blanca
to the beat

of a Thousand Drums .

Modern times new gods





Proof of Life

I forgot my password

No one recognizes me

Access denied

I don’t exist













Addictions


People in the mall

walk around

a teenage girl in the fetal position

crying because

she ran out of minutes

on her cell phone,


her life is over.

Late night Driving home Listening to Indian Radio



  Maybe I'm a wanna be Indian , Or just respect the Rebellion  and survival instincts of the natives  trying to keep their identity alive. But started a new Job that requires me  to drive a while home from work late in the evening. Occasional y if the atmosphere is right I can pick up Indian radio on the a.m band. One of my favorite songs is Indian Car. check out one of many versions

  Raced home cracked a beer and wrote a poem

Last night
Driving across the plains
heading home from work,
the smoke from
distant fires heavy in the air
This song came on the radio.
The beat of the bass
Matched the rumble of the
road
I think I felt at one
With an Indian Car


                                    c.h.

Pretty Smokey out in the world these days



Lots of fires this summer and you can see that by looking at the bridgers




But that does make  for some colorful sunsets

A religious moment















Down by the falls

geese shit on the sidewalk

In front of the Church.


Strutting back and forth

Honking and preening

about their perfection


Wading ankle deep

in the excrement

they create.

Moon Cycles


At one in the morning

I step outside.

The Moon looks bored

So I howl

letting my inner coyote

run free.

Till the neighbors


yell at me to shut up

Just passing Through




In The bad Part of Town


Pigeons high on Crystal


commit suicide


diving into traffic


off the over pass.


Rush hour commuters


talking on their Smart phones


never see them.

forty one degrees outside

The Thaw

The snow out front is melting.

How many curse words

are buried in those mountains

of shoveled snow?

Just waiting waiting to be released

in the thaw to offend the passer by.

Nothing is True , or Alternative Facts







Guerrilla dissidence .

In an age when

speaking the truth

is called a lie

and speaking a lie

is called the truth

we need poets ,

we need writers

and we need painters

to tell the stories

every one else is afraid to tell.

Howl from the roof tops ,

agitate in the bar ,

scribble on the napkins

in the coffee house .


Spread the images on your canvas . 

Do not be silent .

No Gin in Siberia

No Gin in Siberia

There is no Gin in Siberia

and in the Camps on the

Mexican border you

will be lucky to get Mezcal.

Maybe  your tent will have a

toad that you can lick its sweat

for its LSD like euphoria.


After working all day on the wall .

but you will share that toad

with Rebels and poets.

Censorship

Missing Fingers 
the Yakuza Papers 
Kanji in blood

glad the Christmas spirt has fled

Christmas Spirit
Plastic Santa blows
down the street,
Jacked up truck
swerves to hit it
Plastic shards skitter
across the snow.
