fog and fury

this is adventure. we’re heading for a place far away we’ve never been to live among people we’ve not met whose language we don’t speak.

oaxaca (city) in oaxaca (state) has 258,008 people. the city is a mile above sea level in the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountain. There’ve been settlements in the general area for thousands of years, but the city was officially founded in 1532.

once again into the breach of unknown internet access. we may be blogging once a day, may blog once a week - time and the cyber godz will tell.

USA Today

Meat bags bound by fog and fury
Fear silence
Little horrors of swarming selves
God’s flesh
But fallen water across the log

In service so sweaty warmth
Begotten in flesh and feast
Double cause
Crowing cock cracking dawn

Let doubt die
Mangled thread, legal mixture
Here be dragons
Slave state seared by vision
Decrees of silence
