"apache" poems
In my mind, I raced against time I smoked peyote with the Apache I chased Kangaroos Through the bush with the Aborigine All the while ...I searched for the power within me In my mind, I outpaced time I drew cave art with the Neanderthal I climbed to the top of the mountain with the Sherpa I hunted seal out on the frozen tundra with the Inuit All the while ...I searched for the power within me In my mind, I eclipsed time I wrote poetry while under the tutelage of Langston Hughes And I created visual greatness while apprentice to Gordon Parks I even stood on the wall with Che' Guevara, like a Sentry standing watch All the while ...I continued searching for the power within me In my mind, I turned to face time I wrote an addendum to the Emancipation Proclamation And I saw the ugly truths Of freedom's farcical Declaration All the while ...I continued searching for the power within me In my mind, I embraced time I sought to free my nation from the pandemic perils of ******* And I prayed that we Americans would be free of The snares of racial and economic divide that still has us chained I did this while searching for truth, in this, our most tenuous hour ...then empyreally, God reached for me, touching me, and I finally found my power * Reprinted from 'Exegesis a Decade of Poetry by Mekael' © July 14, 2009 by Mekael Shane

My Power
I keep falling in love with my mother, I dont want to hurt her -Of all people to hurt. Every time I see her she's grown older But her uniform always amazes me For its Dutch simplicity And the Doll she is, The doll-like way she stands Bowlegged in my dreams, Waiting to serve me. And I am only an Apache Smoking Hashi In old Cabashy By the Lamp.

Scorpio ♏️ October 24-November 22
Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands And take it when it runs by, As the Apache dancer Clutches his woman. I have seen them Live long and laugh loud, Sent on singing, singing, Smashed to the heart Under the ribs With a terrible love. Joy always, Joy everywhere-- Let joy **** you! Keep away from the little deaths.

"Medium" sized button-up Tommy Hilfiger fits me big As if it were an extra large I don't mind             I like it. Green. Darker than grass Completely green, painted by an Indigenous craftsman From New Mexico The Apache, My Fathers. They painted red flowers. With orange stars in the middle, Scattered randomly         Perfectly Throughout the long sleeve button-up Hilfiger The pattern: Strange looking Orange flowers                         Geometric                         I wear it                         'Cause it reminds me of her.

I wear it
Around the world swinging my hips, A hula hoop queen Wrapped up in our nation’s flag I’ll be your American dream Microphone miss superstar, shake the feathers in my hair Honey you’re my favorite audience, you know I love it when you stare Late night rooftop philosopher, tell you everything on my mind Lover archeologist, boy you’re the best thing I’ll ever find Little baby human canvas tattooed up my wrist Turn into a woman fast when you grab me for a kiss Vroom Vroom Racecar driver when I follow you up north Lit up your sky fire works on our first July fourth Princess of the gas station, buy me cherry gum Lighting up my cigarette, won’t forget to spark you one You lived a world of black and white, and that is not a lot so I’ll bring in my vibrant reds, you got yourself Picasso I know I scare you at most times, but never should you quiver For my king at his request, the queen is sure to deliver Apache chief rain dance girl, my tribe calls me brave heart But I’m not always so courageous; I’m just trying to be smart I’m thinking with my heart so fast the pumping blood’s still blue But it beats, and I do all these things, I do them all for you.

All for you.
9th Floor: Good for views in real terms equates as multiple times the number of floors of glares on the stairs, some less random and aggressive as others Some from young lads Some from their mothers - Who’ll squeeze their ******* for a fiver, but its more for inside her - It’s always an Apache tunnel of prickly vibes and jibes with little to say And neighbours who turn out to be mental, Found in the gutter, covered in butter and thankfully sectioned later that day

Lullaby
The slant-eyed giant hunter people of Tsul Kalu came in peace To become the central universe Cherokee white elders hereditary priests teaching peace Winged rattlesnake constellation of time untime Singing the death song Sacred spirits animal, plant, herb and tree The wheel what is, will be (*The ancient Chinese were the greatest astronomers. Later in the 1400's their massive treasure fleets mapped the World The Yuki, Navajo, Apache, Yuchis, Ming ** Melungeons, Shawnee (Oceanye ** Sioux, Cree Ojibuwa and Moskoke have Chinese ancestors some claimed to be Chinese European explorers told of elders speaking Chinese ancient Chinese artefacts and wrecked junks seen History as taught might be but a fairytale*)

‘Why ask’,said the field mouse to Hedgehog Who scuttled along softly on four short legs Wearing a bobble hat made of apache wool ‘I don’t know but truths must be brought on.’ ‘Yes’, said Mousey as it perched with fairy In the brown bed filled with green cuttings For only here with my friend is the world’s Beauty allowed a sharing heart and voice. So take me into the garden with pink roses Growing one with up turned bright bud Shoes holding tightly your peering down Fills out the future with seeded windmills. Love Mary x

Apache
for Thomas Raine Crowe ...These nights bring dreams of Cherokee shamans whose names are bright verbs and impacted dark nouns, whose memories are indictments of my pallid flesh... and I hear, as from a great distance, the cries tortured from their guileless lips, proclaiming the nature of my mutation. NOTE: My “mutation” is that my family appears to contain English, Scottish, German and Cherokee blood, meaning that my ancestors were probably at war with each other. Did my English ancestors force my Cherokee ancestors to walk the Trail of Tears? I have recently created these new translations of Native American poems, proverbs and sayings ... What is life? The flash of a firefly. The breath of a winter buffalo. The shadow scooting across the grass that vanishes with sunset. —Blackfoot saying, translation by Michael R. Burch Speak less thunder, wield more lightning. — Apache proverb, translation by Michael R. Burch The more we wonder, the more we understand. — Arapaho proverb, translation by Michael R. Burch Adults talk, children whine. — Blackfoot proverb, translation by Michael R. Burch Don’t be afraid to cry: it will lessen your sorrow. — Hopi proverb One foot in the boat, one foot in the canoe, and you end up in the river. — Tuscarora proverb, translation by Michael R. Burch Our enemy's weakness increases our strength. — Cherokee proverb, translation by Michael R. Burch We will be remembered tomorrow by the tracks we leave today. — Dakota proverb, translation by Michael R. Burch No sound's as eloquent as a rattlesnake's tail. — Navajo saying, translation by Michael R. Burch The heart is our first teacher. — Cheyenne proverb, translation by Michael R. Burch Dreams beget success. — Maricopa proverb, translation by Michael R. Burch Knowledge interprets the past, wisdom foresees the future. — Lumbee proverb, translation by Michael R. Burch The troublemaker's way is thorny. — Umpqua proverb, translation by Michael R. Burch

THE DREAM CATCHER (A RED INDIAN LEGEND)          * By Raj Nandy* The continent of North America during those ancient times, Were inhabited by various Red Indian tribes. The Delawares, the Mohawks, the Choctaws, The Dacotahs, the Omahas, the Blackeet, The Camanches, the Ojibways and the Apaches! They inhabited the forest, the prairies, the marsh lands, The great lakes, the mountains and the fen-lands! They lived close to Nature and honored their Gods, With the spirit of Nature all thing were fraught! If we recall the story of "MacKenna’s Gold", The ‘Shaking Rock’ and ‘Canyon del Oro’, Of human greed, - breeding death, and sorrow! Which in celluloid has often been shown and told; Yet none could take away that Apache gold !! Today I narrate a legend of the ancient Chippawa tribe, About their "magical net" for a peaceful night! An old Medicine Man of this tribe, Wove a ''magical net" with fine gossamer strings, To catch the dreams as they float by! He hung this net above the bed up high, To filter the dreams as they float by, During those darkest hours of the night ! This wondrous net trapped all bad dreams, Letting the good ones pass through its netted seams! And as the bad dreams got entangled in the net, The good ones descended upon the sleeping bed! So should you come across this 'magical net', Never argue about its price, - Just buy the one for your bed size! Then hang the net high above your bed, For there is nothing to be afraid! Since dreams shall never ever cease, Have sweet dreams always, with a good night’s sleep!                         - by Raj Nandy

Used to smoke a pack a day, now it’s just two cigarettes in the evening time, when the lady is in the shower and after the ****** has been smoked. I sit on the ledge of our patio, legs stretched out Exhaling long trails of smoke. observing the busy apartment complex. Mainly blacks & Mexicans with a dash of Apache Junction white trash. Two girls in their early twenties sit on a bench in the little courtyard talking loudly. gesturing wildly about some ***** neither can stand. Purple lightning flashes overhead, illuminating the courtyard. Then it begins to sprinkle And then it starts to rain. A woman walks down the stairs from her apartment. She’s barefoot and smiling, head tilted up towards the sky, taking in deep breaths of the good rain smell. I imagine she’s been waiting for this. Waiting on the rain. In her apartment. It’s really started coming down. She couldn’t light her cigarette, the rain was dropping from everywhere. Two children run and skip down the sidewalk with their mother running close behind. Her arms, both of them, full of mail, grocery bags, and a baby, yellin at her kids, “hurry, hurry, hurry up. C’mon, the mail is getting wet and I got Netflix here, ********* move your ***** A man in a motorized wheelchair Emerges from one of the halls across the courtyard. I watch his electric chair buzz by on the sidewalk. He was going for a full lap of the place it seemed. When he passed me, I saw droplets of rain breaking on his face and streaming down. Grinning ear to ear he winked one eye at me. made me smile. This is Arizona. Rain in the summer is a gift. Means a lot to us. All of us

saying **** off* seems so much more easier when you're petting cats.... they just say it for you... there he is, Quarus, the operatic singer nearing sunset, 200 variations of a mulling of meow, i end up calling him Orbison Rufus, the ginger Roy of Peckham - he basically meows lazily like Roy singing... as said / i.d. (id est): the umbras or umbrellas - counting the shadows' version of Apache's yawn: ah-woo ah-woo ah-woo nagging the reflex... gave them the yawn and gave them 1950s America... Billy the Kid talking to the king of Specs... hank marvin.... cheese grater with those teeth... dozen cows buckling with the herding in while the dog carved a feel for religion in the translation of the Vatican from coliseum into football requirements... the movies were great in the 1950s, just after the technicolour... petting cats was never such a thrill... the operatic meow, onomatopoeia from echo in a cave to knock-on-wood... 200 variations of the knock and 12 whiskey shots downed while playing poker... 12 cowboys 1 Milwaukee and 30 Turks... classic Tarantino... i said the Apache yawn... i never said giving out smoke signals... Quarus my ginger is demanded as having laughed... he's Roy Orbison with the meow, pretty much lazy... looks like a murmur when he tries singing, pretty woman, trolling down the street, Gucci, Chanel, and everything in the scrapheap of lobotomy, as is Paris necessarily mentioned: chiselled white collars... Roy knew before Elvis... the trick came with sunglasses, and the gluttonous slur of the half-opened mouthing for subsequent mouthing it off... no amount of cheese in French could ever charter the success of the cheeses added to cheeseburgers with the milkshakes, which were plainly Dutch laughing cows named Novices.... quick-melts and some said: dreadlocks of string-yellow Gouda pulled for a hippies' worth of Chinese chugging down a pint or two, for worth of gag and the slim mascot; the Chinese never taught Cannes arithmetic of the thumb through to pinky... i don't know how they taught counting with their complex ideograms, they never taught arithmetic give their encoding... they taught pure math.. they never taught the simplest of assurances... meaning so few of them became bankers.

I am not Indian. I am Gitxsan I belong to a territory, I am Gitxsan Like my ancestors before me. Before contact with people from other lands, We are Gitxsan I do not know this word Indian Maybe the word is from faraway lands Maybe they will be proud to be called Indians Like I am proud to be called Gitxsan This land is Gitxsan, She cares for her people We are Gitxsan Who are these new people That accept that title of Indian From someone far away that doesn’t see,That they are Gitxsan Their territory is 1 mile by 1 mile , They live by their territorial rules Given to them by eyes that do not see That they were once a proud nation Of Gitxsan Give me a card that says, I am Gitxsan And I will be happy Let my children of mixed blood Also be happy to be Gitxsan It is not for your unseeing eyes or uncaring heart to say Who in my family is, Gitxsan It is in their hearts to be Gitxsan Gitxsan is not just a word It is the land, the people, the language, the animals and the spirits I stand proudly beside the Hopi, the Apache, the Sioux, the Cree, and all other nations labelled Indian. I am Gitxsan. Wogalwil Edward Green

Santa Claus is 100% pure love his heart does not divide the starved and homeless man with his tin cup from the wealthy politician in his black limousine nor does Santa ever blame the frightened small town girl who paints her lips and struts unsure down hard dark streets Santa Claus remembers his own mother and weeps for the lonely karma of octogenarians diapered in wheelchairs along fluorescent hallways abandoned by the ones they birthed our great elf winces every time he feels the crocodile's fearsome jaws drag the wildebeest down while the zebras flee he prays relentless sailors stop harpooning the great breaching whales and hears the grasses scream when bloated oilmen pound holes in the prairie dog's kingdom he regrets that schoolteachers lie about what a great man Columbus was and why the Sioux, the Apache and the Arapahoe were incapable of evolution he knows you don't need a bicycle helmet to ride downtown for ice cream knows our legal system is for sale knows surfing is Neptune's brave ballet Santa delights in the spiritual joy emerging when patients see angels hovering everywhere before doctors scream psychosis and numb what they do not understand with sad needles and leather restraints his reindeer are the dreams of the spastic child who knows he will never run his sleigh a zero carbon emission vehicle and his great heavy bag carries the sweet prayers of the Jew, the Christian the Muslim, the Buddhist, the Hindu the Gnostic, the Wiccan and the existential humanist on the night before Christmas Santa dreams that all the cars and trucks disappear and every freeway grows trees and flowers and grass where everyone chats and meanders and strolls and vendors sell SnoCones, apple juice and pears because Santa Claus is just doing the one thing he knows how to do best on a long winter's night to bring some light to a world that races toward extinction while the butterfly sleeps with the lizard and the children still believe

Open eyes With sun's rise Rouge roused room Four by six box Satin lined Episcopal ritual, Bury the dead Mother, Father Don Apache garb Hymnal hummed Candle lit How could nature see this fit Suspended From casket Rise And rise And rise Above autumn leaves Struck with vigor And love unobtained Taunting with every flick of the wrist Breeze blows through hair I rise And rise And rise Far above atmospheric scene Aesthetics please Sculpted by hands pure and clean Mountains and sea Gifted unto me Love unrestrained Rise And rise And rise Celestials gleam Forever in a day A glimpse I've obtained Descend And descend And descend To gift bestowed To forest spring Nestled in Mother's green Descend To casket Forever in sleep Forever in dreams Open eyes Rise And rise And rise

Sammi Poe
It was Saturday, And you said God was with us. So, we drove as fast as possible- Into blistering orange and purple, Into the death of the sun. Because we knew he was, just as well as wasn’t. There was sweat on your chest, And on mine two black handprints of mud. You called me your Apache warrior. I made fierce stabs at sol, spears tipped with glass. I did not **** the fire, only scared him away for a cycle. In ecstasy you asked if I’d like some- Fearful to step past my father’s drugs I shrugged you a no. Sold you the same line from dreams before. I don’t like being in heaven and hell at the same time. To which you replied with hollow eyes to hell with heaven. And together we cried ponds in the parking lot of Wal-Mart. Beseeching the dams not hold, Hoping we could wash it all clean. It was Sunday, And you said that god was dead- We danced in the street, maniacs, Exposed flesh and drumming war cries. Busted open the fire hydrant and nursed, Hysterical for love and peaceful tomorrows, Crusaders of regrettable intentions. And then your mother called and you had to run off to church. During this fifth year you were enlightened. Many people feel that upon reading a book or two. Labeled me wrong, you of course playing the protagonist - I didn’t see it that way. I wasn’t keeping any type of score. Still bear chested, scowling at king sun, Howling to mother moon, dressed in pale luminous silk, Knowing she would never howl back. With duly noted precautionary tales in mind I set forth- To coastal plains lush with life, Trees hiding the cityscape. Stars sending light at a glacial pace, Eroding corneal muck. You had left three sheets to the wind, And I was inside my own mind without. Skies bled crimson heat, Leached from me that passion that once held steadfast And it was pleasant at best. But, I am no martyr. Revitalized in my own indulgences, Slept till Saturday when you returned- The world making right again.

"Howling to Mother Moon"

This offends me as a vegan transgender hipster democrat voting Native-American-Indo-Chinese socialist anarchist hybrid illegal alien agnostic-atheist Germanic social engineering major dropout who only vapes fair-trade organic non-GMO decaffeinated French-pressed compressed and hydrated extra-skim grass-fed only protein soy breast milk on the regular and does Hindi Kama Sutra naked crossfit hot yoga 5 times a week. And frankly, since I am also a non-binary tri-gender genderqueer male feminist and I identify as a proponent to legalize cannabis and a Rastafarian, pansexual, genderfluid, Apache helicopter beta mutt of mega multi alpha beta gamma delta omega combo god of hyper death who's adamant about polygamous polyamorous relationships with an pure-bred alpha chihuahua which helped me cross the border of Mexico to let love trump the hate and get a job 3-D printing pink ***** hats all day. My dog also walks me to the local skate park and doggy styles me, while my gender neutral photographer neighbor takes pictures and sells them on the dark web antifa site and if you find that weird you're an ignorant arrogant homophobic gender-assuming globophobic bloodthirsty bacon-loving gun-toting cis-gender pan-sexual patriarchal incestuous sexist racist white-privileged misogynistic populist biased objectified white-privileged anti-communist **** indoor tanning Cheetos cheese-puff-loving republican.

I think of mountains the way they climb for the sky losing their way through clouds. Looking up I never know if they reach the top or if they see me way down here? Some kind of ant, I dig for rocks a pocket full of turquoise blue a miner for Apache jewels exposed by red dust winds as the day chips away and carves a night into black obsidian.

with a billion Chinese and Indians on the tally... i think it's hardly worth noting the individuation  process the West has adapted... who needs another Kurt Cobain brain in spaghetti splatters on the wall? there's a billion of each... a ******* billion! heath ledger and daniel johns (i would be a freak having released something like frog-stomp in my teens, i would be, playing the mongolian harmonica)... but there's a ******* billion of each, Taj Mahal saved them when the western oozy saw the scalping technique... so did the curry recipe... i'm an alcoholic like the rest of them... Apache eagle feather how how hush (dog bark interlude)... nonetheless, we're taught to individuate, to state a difference worthy of an advert... any other slogan not ending with -Pepsi and you're ******* Chinese to me... Hong Kong double-decker buses and Karate! Ha Ya! chop... or sushi, whichever bruise to add to the skin of Copernican for the sundown and plum. no, the point being drummers are wacko, having to process individuation would never instil me having a potential to number a Mongolian horde... i wouldn't have cared... if only ****** suggested.. if only ****** suggested.... i too would be a bleached Eskimo.
