Poem: from Santa Fe and some photos (2009.05.28)

12:30am 2009.05.28 Santa Fe, NM. Fusion club

the air breathes
soft and high
and I am alive
ethanol courses
actions recourse
and the stars shine
ambivalent
in the black blanket
punctuated with bolts
New Mexico
Old and New
falters forever
in capitalism
in Santa Fe
in error and
perfect existence

12:40am 2009.05.28
Turquoise cuts adobe
in mid day light
and at night
they-
grey, stand in contrast
to the shadows
to the shallows
we don't dare illuminate
for darkness penetrates
this place
in the bowls and souls
deep seats and retreats
it bleeds and seeds
the next generation -
infinite penetration
of half dead frustration
Santa Fe

12:50am 2009.05.28
sell, sold, soul
so you remember
the past-
the commoditized
capitalized product of this town,
where Heroes fought
Savage Indians,
but scratch that hatch
it ain't sellable
brine it
shine it
design it
legitimize it (the past)
-build it (the past) and they will come
but once they've cum
its all undone.

1:05am 2009.05.28
Rockies rock bottom
Santa Fe by day
find a way to masks the resource pull
that in time shall levy its toll
in drops absent
water limited
this town fate scripted in
Chaco and Bandelier and Other(s)
places far and near
How small our imagination is
for the teachings of history

1:20am 2009.05.28
Coral colony of clouds
coral the Jemez on the horizon
in the high dry sky of New Mexico
the germinating seed of Huxley's anti-Utopia
The land of life in protest


Santa Fe contrasting Adobe


Iris and cliff in the Jemez


The Buckets swimming hole in Jemez


Clouds over ABQ


Porch adornment in Santa Fe
