I roamed as free as the wild green parrots and the grandiose peacocks all up and down the darkest street in San Pedro.
Our yard was without boundaries and full of the buried treasures of the past. I'd spend summer days digging in patched kneed jeans. Pulling from the dirt old time cork top bottles that once held ***** laced syrups and other types of liquid joy.
When another ones life needed saving the red flashing lights of fury lit the darkness with faint hues of shifting reds as the chariot of death sped past our grand window.
The pill box shaped hospital sat atop the hill like a morbid kings Gothic castle. Always overlooking the lightless way.
Memories of our golden ***** running proudly across the canyon , a ***** white free roaming hen still flapping between her saliva,blood soaked jaws.
Or the back street rushing with brown garbage laden runoff as the heavens opened and cried rain upon the earth.
I didn't stand a chance up against the pull of the ******* the dragon and all the crimes and times away it brought with it.
I laughed and fought along side the ****** ones and became apart of something more than me.
I learned the true meaning of the number 13 and earned the right to tattoo it on my young body like the true symbol of valor it is.
Life on the darkest street in San Pedro where the fall leaves of the Eucalyptus and the fruit trees burned lasting colors of yellow ,orange and red.
Those early years on the darkest street in San Pedro where my young mind took in all the bad it could.
Coming of age on the darkest street in San Pedro with most of whom who are long since dead.
My young life so long ago on the darkest street in San Pedro brings about some of the brightest memories I have today.
