Another train ride
just outside Arles
a full moon over the Rhone river
crossing into Europe a week ago from
America
an insistence vague and hollow descended
upon me
in a zen painting two blind monks are
crossing on
a long bridge above a river
feeling their way with their hands
as my cheyenne uncles before me
men hunted and murdered by democracy
I watch the unsteady winds of an unfinished
prayer
reaching into the human world
and where does the fabric of struggle
find its repose
in the streets of bosnia
in the torn and ragged mists of south africa
or in the blood stained trees of amazonia
night grows into itself like a butterfly aflame
just outside toulouse
I remember a girl with auburn hair
on another train one year ago
we crossed a border of friendship and terror
she disappeared into a sarajevo night
or was it belgrade or chiapas
or papua new guinea where the stars are
weeping
wherever it was she never returned
this story is happening again
and the world goes on unravelling
