dust, leaves twirling
whirlpool
up off road
under wheels
undercarriage
automotive winds
turning, lifting
giving force to such
delicate particles
ends attached in former
position to branch
soft paper thin petal-
like reds and golds
much as the mane swings
blows back from higher
plane winds Percheron gold
mane that red Percheron
on the right
the north side
you’ve seen her
in the early morning
when it’s snowing she
raises her dignity
laughing at motorists
distressed by ice
and Pueblo patrol cars
we catch in peripheral
focus signal turn the
halogens off and on
on and off until
they code the signal
distress signal
approaching tribal police
traffic trap
commuting the
35 mph racket
through Nambe
Pojoaque turn 50
Tesuque Bingo/Pull-Tabs
long before the lodge
turned stone near Camel Rock
before the Congested Area in
approach to the
“City of the Oldest Catholic Church in North America”
we convey these
danger signs to
local yokels perhaps even
tourists if we’re in the mood
consideration
strange nation
neither of us belong
though we do stay
in close proximity to
these other Native peoples
very different than where we
come from still the same
only sometimes though
they know the patrol
man he’s their cousin
all of theirs
they know this whirl
these leaves rising now
before our heated grill
Chevy 4x ’91
they know the Percheron
she steals the scenery easily
with her laughter and turn
pitching hoof and tail
in mockery indispensable humor
she takes this morning
under gray the shade of nickel
to cloud the stress enabling
me to speak to you of
beauty
-- Allison Adelle Hedge Coke

Question: Who is your audience? What are you here for?
Answer: Tribal Alliances, Heart-felt Convictions, Passionate Reason, Random Abandon, Sustainable Civility and a kiss; to comfort the sad and the mad Ones; the Ones roaming the International section of the American Supermarket at night; or roaming the neglected streets looking for an angry malaprop to sink their teeth into; the Ones who seek without seeking and learn as much as they teach; the Ones who embrace and kiss and embrace again; the Ones who sing the song of the city and the ballads of the forest; the Ones who chant the rhythm of the sea and hum the melody of the desert; the Ones who sing the prayer of Her name and Her name is the World. Yes, those are the Ones. -- JP

(Can you help folks in need heat their homes and cook their food on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservations. Navajo has an important diary posted with all the particulars. Even a small amount can work towards building the minimum.
Could you please help?)

The Nature of Poetics Collapsed Outside My Window
On the third floor
Of an old stone hotel
I gaze out my window
To the night rain
Wet streets of
Mexico City.
I look down on rooftops
Built by Spaniards
And across stratum
Of TV antennae
Electric lights
And the huge domes of
Ancient cathedrals.
History is backed up
Against itself here
Like layers of
Soil and mud
One can see the edge of
Aztec excavations
Between the sleek
Exact lines
Of modern towers.
Echoing up from the street
Is the wet hiss
Of rolling tires
On wet black-top
And the more distant
Sounds of
Engines
Dogs
And voices
All fusing somehow
Into that single
Universal
Hum-drone
The chant of cities.
The Poet must be
Alone here
He must be free
And live as
The wind itself
Not bound by
The culture of society
Not restrained by taboo.
At ease to wander
In the mysterious visions
Of touching everything
Of trusting everything
Of believing everything.
The Poet must be free
To live the law
Of iguana-lazy sleep
On the hot sand
The Poet must be free
For the frenzy
Of butterfly wings
Across the cool smooth
Strange sculptured
Texture of tropical waters.
The Poet must be free
To move
To see
Free to
Merely be.
(Mexico City 1986)
