She don't wanna speak to me. Me mind is hidden under a cloud of darkness. Dere's a feelin' of inner struggle. I must release reggae. spliiiiiff I rise out of me bed in terror. Me dreamt of a lonely island boy, lost at sea. Could you imagine, no friends, no food. No reggae release. spliiiiiff I'm trapped in a reggae box I can hear me boy screamin', but I can't find 'im. I call for 'im, "JACO! JACO, MY YOUT!" I must release de reggae. spliiiiiff The room is a maze, no exit. Could me premonitions be true? Could me boy truly be lost? No reggae release. spliiiiiff Me vision's too cloudy. All to be seen is rat-like faces, cringing. Their snouts snort and sneer to a reggae beat. I must release de reggae. spliiiiiff The floor falls from under me. A lizard's heavy gizzard appears below. Crooked, sharp teeth shining tru de dark. No reggae release. spliiiiiff Colours upon colours. An indigo man stabs, then rapes a magenta woman. Until the reds, and greens, and blues, explode from her stomach. I must release de reggae. spliiiiiff I catch me breath. I'm in me room. Safe and sound. Jeez, what a bad trip, still?

The Druids power has been lost for some time. But we all believe in Magic to some degree. So how do we multiply our presence without cried or Cree? We rise again starting next to the Old Oak Tree.

Rise
Forjada en la "Fábrica de Armas y Municiones", la ciudad muerde con sus almenas un pedazo de cielo, mientras el Tajo, alfanje que se funde en un molde de piedra, atraviesa los puentes y la Vega, pintada por algún primitivo castellano de esos que conservaron una influencia flamenca. Ya al subir en dirección a la ciudad, apriétase en las llaves la empuñadura de una espada, en tanto que un vientecillo nos va enmoheciendo el espinazo para insuflarnos el empaque que los aduaneros exigen al entrar. ¡Silencio! ¡Silencio que nos extravía las pupilas y nos diafaniza la nariz! ¡Silencio! Perros que se pasean de golilla con los ojos pintados por el Greco. Posadas donde se hospedan todavía los protagonistas del "Lazarillo" y del "Buscón". Puertas que gruñen y se cierran con las llaves que se le extraviaron a San Pedro. ¡Para cruzar sobre las, murallas y el Alcázar las nubes ensillan con arneses y paramentos medioevales! Hidalgos que se alimentan de piedras y de orgullo, tienen la carne idéntica a la cera de los exvotos y un tufo a herrumbre y a ratón. Hidalgos que se detienen para escupir con la jactancia con que sus abuelos tiraban su escarcela a los leprosos. Los pies ensangrentados por los guijarros, se gulusmea en las cocinas un olorcillo a inquisición, y cuando las sombras se descuelgan de los tejados, se oye la gesta que las paredes nos cuentan al pasar, a cuyo influjo una pelambre nos va cubriendo las tetillas. ¡Noches en que los pasos suenan como malas palabras! ¡Noches, con gélido aliento de fantasma, en que las piedras que circundan la población celebran aquelarres goyescos! ¡Juro, por el mismísimo Cristo de la Vega, que a pesar del cansancio que nos purifica y nos despoja de toda vanidad, a veces, al atravesar una calleja, uno se cree Don Juan!

Mi perro ha muerto. Lo enterré en el jardín junto a una vieja máquina oxidada. Allí, no más abajo, ni más arriba, se juntará conmigo alguna vez. Ahora él ya se fue con su pelaje, su mala educación, su nariz iría. Y yo, materialista que no cree en el celeste cielo prometido para ningún humano, para este perro o para todo perro creo en el cielo, sí, creo en un cielo donde yo no entraré, pero él me espera ondulando su cola de abanico para que yo al llegar tenga amistades. Ay no diré la tristeza en la tierra de no tenerlo más por compañero, que para mí jamás fue un servidor. Tuvo hacia mí la amistad de un erizo que conservaba su soberanía, la amistad de una estrella independienre sin más intimidad que la precisa, sin exageraciones: no se trepaba sobre mi vestuario llenándome de pelos o de sarna, no se frotaba contra mi rodilla como otros perros obsesos sexuales. No, mi perro me miraba dándome la atención que necesito, la atención necesaria para hacer comprender a un vanidoso que siendo perro él, con esos ojos, más puros que los míos, perdía el tiempo, pero me miraba con la mirada que me reservó toda su dulce, su peluda vida, su silenciosa vida, cerca de mí, sin molestarme nunca, y sin pedirme nada. Ay cuántas veces quise tener cola andando junto a él por las orillas del mar, en el invierno de Isla Negra, en la gran soledad: arriba el aire traspasado de pájaros glaciales, y mi perro brincando, hirsuto, lleno de voltaje marino en movimiento: mi perro vagabundo y olfatorio enarbolando su cola dorada frente a frente al Océano y su espuma. Alegre, alegre, alegre como los perros saben ser felices, sin nada más, con el absolutismo de la naturaleza descarada. No hay adiós a mi perro que se ha muerco. Y no hay ni hubo mentira entre nosotros. Ya se fue y lo enterré, y eso era todo.

The woman of power, of the final hour, Stood upon the gaping edge of death, Savoring her final due breath, Recollecting her spent time, as the demons beneath, did climb. The woman, once unknown, many must atone, With a simple display, she tore the lights that held the night at bay, For nothing as powerful as she, should anyone but agree, Resting upon her belt, the stars forever dwelt. The woman, demur of the end, a challenge to death, she had penned, A game, we shall partake, with eternal lives at stake, For if I do not wish to die, your purpose, you must defy, With a stolen piece, her years did increase. The woman of blackened markings, her mind of ever-workings, Stood tall upon her mare, chased with twisting white hair, Upon her belt, rested pouched treasures, glittering fondly with pleasure, For her company never to shake, as her pale eyes did forever take. She was the woman of Cree, far beyond The Black Ink Sea, The taker of stars, leaving naught but empty scars, She was the winning player of Death's Game, her rewards, to gain, With the twisting marks of power, deep to the pit, she did glower. For nothing of its sort, Shall ever hold her short, From any a task within her aim, A woman such as I, victory shall I claim. And with that thought dancing across her mind, She leapt, and left the mortal world behind.

Tasaria's Lament
Entre palabras disonantes, río. Un trago baja por mi garganta irritada de tanto gritar, mi cuerpo la pasa bien mientras yo me esfuerzo en distraer a mi mente y un concierto de pensamientos oscuros se ve opacado por el volumen de la música y de los aullidos apabullantes de una juventud que cree tener todo bajo control mientras están juntos, pero en el próximo momento de verdadera soledad, sus espaldas se quebrarán sobre sus seres y se verán desplomados sobre un suelo de incertidumbre absoluta. Entre pensamientos distantes, me pierdo. Humo de un cigarro barato innunda mis pulmones mientras la nicotina afecta mi sistema nervioso en un abrazo reconfortante que no es otra cosa que una mentira más, la promesa de una prostituta que cobra con tu vida, pero sigo besándola hasta que mis dedos se queman. Entre gritos innentendibles, lloro. No exteriorizo, pero las lágrimas están ahí, en la mente perturbada por fantasmas de quienes yo mismo maté, siluetas del pasado que no terminan de tomar forma porque no se los permito, pero a pesar de mis esfuerzos aún son reconocibles, aunque a duras penas.

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

I AM NOT INDIAN
Soy huellas que no secan en el vacío interminable de tu pecho como marca hecha en desiertos por el cadáver sediento de tu cuerpo Soy un jugador con sonrisa de plata que se burla a escondidas, y se cree ganador de todo lo perdido aceptando el trofeo en secreto sabiendo que ha hecho bien en romper silencios, cadenas, el alma, y ha hecho jirones la camisa de un amante, en busca del elixir divino Soy quien encontró ambrosía en labios rosas como almohadas celestiales que bajan a su encuentro entre noches perdidas, secretas, sedientas Soy quien ríe al último con honestidad y el alma limpia pues no tengo nada que perder ya que he dado todo y regresó en migajas en platos rotos y en realidades que no concuerdan con los sueños y no me arrepiento de nada la historia me absuelve como algún matón cubano dijo alguna vez en algún lugar pues todos los asesinos tienen su razón justificada.

Plenitud secreta
Canoeing written March 7th, 2021 I have spent the last few days canoeing the Mackenzie River making the journey in a book with maps and words. As I read it takes me back to canoeing in my youth the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness along the northern border of Minnesota. I can feel the paddle pulling through the water and hear the loons crying at night. The land around me almost untouched since Huron, Chippewa, Cree Dakota and Ojibwa eyes were the only ones that had ever seen it. Now I travel in thought and memory the clear cold waters of the lakes the portages through forested hills taking me from one gem of a lake and a memory to the next.

Canoeing
Another adventure begins On a day to remember On the 11th hour of the 11th day Of the 11th month in 1918 WWI ended But the war continues Between the material and spiritual The Grand Inquisitor in all of us (Dostoevsky) Tries to encapsulate the formless We're all searching for the magic pill Red or blue What would you choose? Fortunately, there is no choice You become who you are eventually It just depends how many lives It takes for a full realization Of this reality A spiritual warrior is always in transition I'm spending the next few weeks traveling from Portland to Los Angeles Maybe on to Peru from there I plan on writing in realtime In spacetime, I'll be riffing Suggestions of where to explore are appreciated That would put a big smile on my face I told my Cree friend of this journey She laughed and called me Thotin Thotin is wind; wind in all forms I told her I identified with water She nixed that: 'water is too predictable, wind is just ****** nuts' We lol'd I guess the wind is blowing west :)

Thotin
It could have been a pleasant Monday. We sat outdoors and ate our sandwiches. It was crisp October, and we were on a dig. Earlier, we had used the transit to measure teepee rings from the nomad Cree tribe that once lived and loved here. You'd found the marker stones. I'd found a stone tool. But now we sit having lunch in the tepid sun. I looked at you and saw a young man who swaggered with false confidence. You wore an army jacket,though we were just 16. Your hair was red, and a little curly. Your eyes melted me, -robin's egg blue. I looked at your hands still holding the paper and I saw between the freckles on your wrist a blue vein. Without ability to stop myself I touched you there. And then my mind whirled. For the first time- suddenly, I was in your blood, your heart, your mind! You were just as jolted as I was, and we have never been the same. 40 years later. We write on your birthday. You ask about my mother. Do you ever say my name?

Reflections on Stone Pile Hill, Rimby Alberta, circa 1970 Archeological dig.
Para ti que no crees en mi, te escribo esta carta para pedirte que no me insultes ni me jusgues, puesto que soy una obra mas de tu creador, yo soy el espiritu de luz que te llevara hacia el cuando tu alma se despegue de tu cuerpo y tengas que rendirle cuentas de tu vida....porque yo no soy un ser satanico, tampoco un ser diabolico. Soy un ser que Nuestro Dios Padre.. e cree, yo soy la Niña que te mira, mis brazos que te cargan, mis manos que te consuelan, mis pies que te guian, mi Guadaña que te Defiende, mi aliento alegre que respires, mi mundo en el que vives, mi manto que te cubre y resguardia, todo estolo tengo para ti por que para eso fui creada, solo pideme all infocarme, pero haslo con humildad, haslo con el Corazon y yo estare contigo

Carta de Mi Madre
How could it be that it's just me wondering when we will laugh again with glee. What scared ghost do we flee into Summer's buzzing bee passed a late Falling tree? I grant that he has a good degree and a family pedigree, but aren't we all free? I feel tainted with frosty touches of Northern fee, invoices billed from a Cree living in tent or tipi while burning my effigy. Down on one knee at a Maypole jubilee, drunk and happy, tragically at the end greedily eating too much Sandra Lee, that's me! Half squinting a dopie smile and slanting queer boats with rhyming keel, I barter with a misty sea, wanting badly to *** but instead shade my eyes to see. Discarded to dry.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Seeing chalked outlines of brothers, I haven’t met, Cause the cops been harassing and profiling so long, People become desensitized, pretending nothings wrong. Seeing so many innocent children that didn’t deserve it, Have a hoodie in the store, you assume it’s a burglar, You better watch your chatter, otherwise the gun gonna clatter. Becoming just another body bag for another mother. And the news may report it, But the next day it won’t matter. I really hate to alarm, but I’m fed up, Some think it’s silly, saying **** it up. The same fools that never experienced harm. Assuming based on colour, that I must be armed. So, they pull up on me like I’m a terrorist, Which is pretty ******* racist, No matter what way you measure it! Having a knee on a neck, Like they need a prayer addressed. Yet they call my people violent. Very ironic? Isn’t it? Been spending most our lives, Living in a colonist paradise, Could hang as much ***** as you like, Living in a colonist paradise. We keep spending most our lives living in a colonist paradise, Have many have to be sacrificed till we question this colonial paradise? Look at the situation they got us facing, We can’t live a normal life, we was taken from our land. So, now we got to conform to new rules G, Becoming puppets for the bourgeoisie. I’m an educated savage with justice on my mind, Got my Diploma in my hand and pride in my eyes, I’m a rez’d out desperado, Cree that’s muy guapo. And my patience is worn, so don’t provoke my fuego! Fool, death ain’t nothing but are martyrdom away, Just one spark away, From lighting the fuse, That will blow away. The old narrow minded and rotten society. Every child matters, It’s pretty sad, that I even have to say that homie. Been spending most our lives living in a colonist paradise, Could slaughter as much children as you like, As long as you say you’re doing it for your Christ. We keep spending most our lives living in a colonist paradise, Have many have to be sacrificed till we question this colonial paradise? Power and the money, money and the power. Promise after promise, liar after liar. Everybody breathing, but half of them ain’t living. It’s going on in our community, but nobody looking. They say I gotta get over it, but nobody here see’s the trauma from it! If they can’t understand it, how can reconciliation come out of it? I guess they can't, I guess they won't I guess they frontin', that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool! Been spending most our lives living in a colonist paradise, Could imprison as many asians as you like. Living in a colonist paradise. We keep spending most our lives living in a colonist paradise, Have many have to be sacrificed till we question this colonial paradise?

When he was revealed to you to be naught but ash and stone his eyes burnt dusty grey that of a thousand campfires grown cold             to feel not                   to hear not draws likeness to hell on earth       the leaves so brown and rusty pay no attention to the girth of his unnoticed masochistic sorrow so tomorrow may be better than the rest but in his roving endless mind he will find the greatest unrest                           In all things he finds beauty and in all things he finds lonesome boredom            so that is why he roves in search of endless pleasures to quell the restlessness he finds when he        reaches home                      Too much time he has been stuck in one place           he grows weary of the endless thoughtless race                  to places others hate and where on one wants to be so on his feet he flees        to the lands devoid of life to camels rocks and the occasional bubbling cree             The shoes too tight the hurt his feet they leave an aching, tingling feeling                                       They yearn to begat themselves of his heel                                       Plead with the sweat between his toes to never grace the skin of any man again yet he still wears them               He knows they cause blisters               he knows that in those shoes an ever hardening, hateful fungus grows                           His wandering feet cannot remember the grass                         the heat of asphalt                         the agony of sharp glass            What is he to do?            his entire life he has worn some sort of shoe to walk without?                            absurd he laments           He dreams of the day when he will spare no expense           when the shoe he dawns will be the finest in the world Another 10 years                another 10 he hopes When his tromping up floors will finally pay off                                                       Will that day ever come?                             a bigger car?                                            a bigger house?                                                            a bigger safe for all his guns?               He pleads                       he wonders                            blindly through life he blunders hoping for when things will get better                                                                  he was raised not to wonder                                                                                raised not to dream                    into suited glass himself he must ream Wanting not of the beautiful himself he will cry                                         on his deathbed he will see but lonely sky Too late to fix now he wished he had realized younger even fifteen years would have worked                                                                                                           Now he sits                                                                           old and broken                                                                                                  feeding breadcrumbs to flightless birds                                                                           wishing someone would have spoken                    Told him to cast off the shoe that left his foot choking and unable to breathe                    His eyes fiery                             heart masked with rage                                       he screams ever upward                            bent with age                            Broken                                                  Heartless                                         Mourning the loss of his life

De cuando en cuando y a lo lejos hay que darse un baño de tumba. Sin duda todo está muy bien y todo está muy mal, sin duda. Van y vienen los pasajeros, crecen los niños y las calles, por fin compramos la guitarra que lloraba sola en la tienda. Todo está bien, todo está mal. Las copas se llenan y vuelven naturalmente a estar vacías y a veces en la madrugada, se mueren misteriosamente. Las copas y los que bebieron. Hemos crecido tanto que ahora no saludamos al vecino y tantas mujeres nos aman que no sabemos cómo hacerlo. Qué ropas hermosas llevamos! Y qué importantes opiniones! Conocí a un hombre amarillo que se creía anaranjado y a un ***** vestido de rubio. Se ven y se ven tantas cosas. Vi festejados los ladrones por caballeros impecables y esto se pasaba en inglés. Y vi a los honrados, hambrientos, buscando pan en la basura. Yo sé que no me cree nadie. Pero lo he visto con mis ojos. Hay que darse un baño de tumba y desde la tierra cerrada mirar hacia arriba el orgullo. Entonces se aprende a medir. Se aprende a hablar, se aprende a ser. Tal vez no seremos tan locos, tal vez no seremos tan cuerdos. Aprenderemos a morir. A ser barro, a no tener ojos. A ser apellido olvidado. Hay unos poetas tan grandes que no caben en una puerta y unos negociantes veloces que no recuerdan la pobreza. Hay mujeres que no entrarán por el ojo de una cebolla y hay tantas cosas, tantas cosas, y así son, y así no serán. Si quieren no me crean nada. Sólo quise enseñarles algo. Yo soy profesor de la vida, vago estudiante de la muerte y si lo que sé no les sirve no he dicho nada, sino todo.

No creo en mi No creo en nadie Solo creo en no creer que puedo hacer lo que quiero No entiendes? Yo tampoco quiero entender Pues no tiene sentido creer En la vida, o en algun ser Adios, Que le vaya bien Tampoco creo en el ayer Espero que alguien me ayude a crecer a vivir sin miedo , a desatar mis penas. Siempre, siempre estas, pero quien? No hay nadie ahi,

Cree en ti
In that moment,I was the only one who saw how alone you were. Without verbal agreement we both understood that I shouldn't leave you alone,but it was also understood that you needed a moment alone to grieve in silence. Right before me stood the man I had feared & idolized since I was a child. Right before my eyes you became undone. With that understanding in mind I left you alone, but not before giving you an awkward yet necessary hug . In the years to come, I would have never imagined that it would be our last one. Cree Scythe

Last Hug 6-5-15
Ravishingly relevant, don't give a **** about being elegant. Thanks for the sentiment, but I will not give you any dividends. To me you are no more than excrement, can't you see that I am benevolent. Dashingly skilled, got a strong will, shoot to **** run of the mill, if you join me I will never treat you Ill. Shockingly built, not going to bear any guilt, for if I do I will wilt. Establishing my mark on this earth, destined for greatness ever since my momma gave birth. Developed moral codes that one could not break, never tried to play it safe, you can bet that I will not give in and just be another phony fake. For heavens sake, no pun intended; don't give a **** if you’re offended, my friends are all colourly blended. So what if I'm not politically correct, you **** heads don't always have to be so ***** So elect me for president or prime minister or whatever, how could it get worse when politics is full of bad weather. Canadian born, but my name isn’t Aubrey, that guy who is worn out yet he thinks himself as godly. Funny, narcissistic sloppy rich boy sell out, Mr. Snobby ****** get out, or you will be taken out. Classy J will you show you how it’s done, I do this **** for fun, never claimed to be number one. I am definitely not the goat, but I stay afloat, to devote my time to finding the truth instead of finding a scapegoat. Real deal, making people like you my next meal, you will be no more than a third wheel. Sure I can't free style, sure I rant about how it is to be a Cree, but when it comes to original verses I surpass you by a mile. I will never reconcile, I will keep on being a clever juvenile. They will file this rap beef as a no contest, no need to weigh in against a crap invested slugfest. But back to my rap, not about to waste my time rhyming about rappers that slack, it is like I am rapping against scrap. Anyways, these days, people have become dazed, it's like we living life sideways. Don't be succumbed, look towards that sequel, don't lower yourself and stay hazed for if you do you'll stay dammed. Not here to have you condemned, but if you hook up with the wrong crowd you will end up harmed. Stay esteemed, never **** your dreams, anything taken away can be reclaimed.

El frío es insoportable en el kilómetro 9. Nadie se abraza, nadie se da besos, nadie se cree sol entre la nube de infancia, y la verde madurez del viento que la sopla. Algunos se paran y dicen que así no son las cosas, pero otra vez alguno lo interrumpe: "Siéntate que te vas a helar". Sigan creyendo que las lágrimas se congelan.

Km. 9
~ a jump-rope chant ~ Cree‑cree, Cree‑cree, Papa Limbo, Lè ou vini, pa janm antre. Papa Limbo, tall and thin, Creeping ‘round my house again. Tip‐toe, tip‐toe, can’t come in, Salt and brick dust on my skin! Metcha’ a man inna’ crooked hat. Sleeps all day with a one‐eyed cat. Sings me a tune through his busted tooth, ’bout-a girl he lost in a photo booth. Jump, kid, jump. Don’tcha fall. Rusty nails Rusty nails stickin’ in a doll. Gonna' clap twice, Spin-a skirt around, Listen to him moan like-a jail-house hound. Trip that rope hear his call He’s still collectin’ girls for his picture wall. Cree‑cree, Cree‑cree, Papa Limbo, Lè ou vini, pa janm antre. Clap two times, spin about, Papa Limbo, you get out! Red dust, white salt, slam the door, Shadow can’t cross my floor no more!
