Back through Mustang Crossing and
\nthen some, hit the dirt and then the place of sleep.
\nTwo locks on the front door get past them again,
\ngo through it again. Turn. See the sky. <\/p>\n
The lightning is all in what they call Mexico. <\/p>\n
When I was a joven, the nortena was the side of freedom.
\nMake it across. Find a job. Land of opportunity. Relative wealth.
\nBut it worked both ways don’t forget. If you got in a jam here
\nthen you fled there, where the tinyhands of the law couldn’t reach.<\/p>\n
Life is not cool enough right now to paint a film noir.<\/p>\n
I don’t have to explain that it all fell apart.
\nCross now and If you live it’s in an ice cage, child, become an orphan.
\nSeek freedom in the other direction and a database will yank you back.
\nBut yet. In symbol. The cracking arcs in the dark flash meanings.<\/p>\n
It is the job of the poet to suss and tell. Thus:<\/p>\n
‘There is a land where the warmer air is liberty still;
\nit remains electric blue on the other side of bright night.
\nThe hopeful promise of it is too far away to hear.
\nThe clutching faithless reality too close up, to deny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
