she was a speaker to the yahweh trees a seeing eye blind woman that wandered there where the coyotes were heroes and bandits too there on the dark streets behind gringo town she brought her baskets of prayers at noon and handed them to empty hands at random only the lost souls would reach for her gold and then die in peace between the empty dunes she whispered to my mirror some mornings leaving words on the fog stain reflections telling me to beware of the dark streets and the ranger with his sifting sand hands she sewed prayers in my leather shirt lining and made the buttons shine like golden eyes she made me immortal to the arrows of evil but it weakened her skin to become brittle when she gave of her soul to the dark st ranger _______________ daark (dark st ranger series) scribblenote: the dark streets are those rural areas away from the glittergulch tourist areas...the dark street ranger is the reaper or the peacemaker....I discovered it during the viet nam era and now am a witness along the borders with mexico) |

"she made me immortal to the arrows of evil but it weakened her skin to become brittle" She seems rather selfless...which, indeed, can become one's very own demise. Thought provoking write. Enjoyed. -Trina |

Dark is as dark does. There are dark rainbows if you know where to look. Dark is comfort, sometimes scary, always kickass "Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave let him know he has enough."-Robert Goolrick from "Reliable Wife" |

intriguing, extremely so...loved it all but found a special connection with: "the ranger with his sifting sand hands ...I've found myself repeating it over and over |

Very interesting indeed. I imagine some of the things you see there are quite heart wrenching. It's sad how man tries to dominate his fellow man but on the other hand sometimes reasons are created that no one understands. Great poem by the way and I can picture her there. Eric Love does not look after it's own interests. |
