Yellow Planetary Human/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 13

 



10 Eb


Yellow Planetary Human

 

Up drove I  through the border Towns---

Texas towns of Wind and Heat

 Dust unto Dust

 

Up drove I from a Valley of Death---

Border Patrols---screaming Sirens---

Burly men searching for “Wetbacks”

 

Crossing the Rio Grande---

Swimming for their Lives and Children

Braving Cold---Darkness---Barbed Wire---Death

 

Cops everywhere in those Texas Towns---

Armed and dangerous Vigilantes

Looking for Reasons to kill

 

Small brown People

Gentle and proud

With Hope greater than Fear---

 Nothing to lose…

 

Up drove I through ghost Town after Town

From Palm to Mesquite---

North I came when Night descended

Looking for Shelter---none to be had----

 

Every Lad from the Oil Fields

With Pockets full of Cash

Filled every Space---sold out---locked down

No Room at the Inn for

                   Brave brown People or me.
